[00:00.00]Flora - Peter Paul
[00:07.03]Written by：Noel Paul Stookey/Mary Allin Travers/Elena Mezzetti
[00:14.07]When first I came to Louisville my fortune there to find
[00:20.92]I met a fair young maiden there her beauty filled my mind
[00:28.10]Her rosy cheek her ruby lips they gave my heart no rest
[00:34.91]The name she bore was Flora the Lily of the West
[00:46.32]I courted lovely Flora she promised never to go
[00:53.07]But soon a tale was told to me that filled my heart with woe
[01:00.19]They said she meets another man who holds my love in jest
[01:06.76]And yet I trusted Flora the Lily of the West
[01:18.43]Way down in yonder shady grove a man of low degree
[01:26.97]He spoke unto my Flora there and kissed her 'neath a tree
[01:34.04]The answers that she gave to him like arrows pierced my breast
[01:40.71]I was betrayed by Flora the Lily of the West
[01:52.31]I stepped up to my rival my dagger in my hand
[01:59.09]I seized him by the collar and I ordered him to stand
[02:05.36]All in my desperation I stabbed him in his breast
[02:13.77]I'd killed a man for Flora the Lily of the West
[02:26.16]And then I had to stand my trial I had to make my plea
[02:34.55]They placed me in a prisoner's dock and then commenced on me
[02:41.44]Although she swore my life away deprived me of my rest
[02:50.00]Still I love my faithless Flora the Lily of the West
[02:57.74]Lily of the West
