《Flora》歌词

[00:00:03] When first I came to louisville

[00:00:06] Some pleasure there to find

[00:00:14] A damsel there from lexington

[00:00:20] Was pleasing to my mind

[00:00:27] Her rosy cheeks

[00:00:28] Her ruby lips

[00:00:32] Like arrows pierced my breast

[00:00:37] The name she bore was flora

[00:00:44] The lily of the west

[00:00:54] I came to my love flora

[00:00:56] Some pleasure there to find

[00:01:00] She turned in to another man

[00:01:04] Which sort of stressed my mind

[00:01:08] She robbed me of my loyalty

[00:01:11] Deprived me of my rest

[00:01:14] I loved my faithless flora

[00:01:18] The lily of the west

[00:01:21] Now down in yonder shady grove

[00:01:25] The man who was to come

[00:01:36] Conversing with my flora there

[00:01:40] It seemed so strange to me

[00:01:44] And the answer that she gave to him

[00:02:03] It sort of me oppressed

[00:02:07] I was betrayed by flora

[00:02:11] The lily of the west

[00:02:13] I stepped up to my rival

[00:02:16] My dagger in my hand

[00:02:20] I seized him by the collar

[00:02:22] And I boldly made him stand

[00:02:26] We met in desperation

[00:02:29] I pierced him in the breast

[00:02:32] I killed the man for flora

[00:02:36] The lily of the west

[00:03:06] I had to stand my trial

[00:03:09] I had to make my plea

[00:03:13] They placed me in a criminal box

[00:03:16] And then commenced on me

[00:03:19] Although she sold my life away

[00:03:22] Deprived me of my rest

[00:03:25] I loved my faithless flora

[00:03:26] The lily of the west
