《Lily Of The West》歌词

[00:00:00] Lily Of The West - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

[00:00:15] When first I came to Louisville

[00:00:19] Some pleasure there to find

[00:00:22] A damsel there from Lexington

[00:00:26] Was pleasing to my mind

[00:00:29] Her rosy cheeks her ruby lips

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

[00:00:35] And the name she bore was Flora

[00:00:40] The Lily of the west

[00:00:47] I courted lovely Flora

[00:00:51] Some pleasure there to find

[00:00:55] But she turned unto another man

[00:00:58] Which sore distressed my mind

[00:01:01] She robbed me of my liberty

[00:01:05] Deprived me of my rest

[00:01:09] Then go my lovely Flora

[00:01:13] The Lily of the west

[00:01:28] We down in yonder shady grove

[00:01:32] A man of high degree

[00:01:35] Conversing with my Flora there

[00:01:39] It seemed so strange to me

[00:01:42] And the answer that she gave to him

[00:01:46] It sure did me oppress

[00:01:49] I was betrayed by Flora

[00:01:53] The Lily of the west

[00:02:01] I stepped up to my rival

[00:02:05] My dagger in my hand

[00:02:08] I seized him by the collar and

[00:02:12] I boldly made him stand

[00:02:14] Being mad to desperation

[00:02:18] I pierced him in the breast

[00:02:22] Then go my lovely Flora

[00:02:26] The Lily of the west

[00:02:34] I had to stand my trial

[00:02:38] I had to make my plea

[00:02:41] They placed me in the criminal box

[00:02:44] And then commenced on me

[00:02:47] Although she swore my life away

[00:02:51] Deprived me of my rest

[00:02:55] I still love my faithless Flora

[00:02:59] The Lily of the west
