《Flora》歌词

[00:00:00] Flora - Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保罗与玛丽三重唱)

[00:00:03] Written by：Paul Stookey/Mary Travers/Elaina Mezzetti

[00:00:13] When first I came to Louisville my fortune there to find

[00:00:21] I met a fair young maiden there her beauty filled my mind

[00:00:28] Her rosy cheek her ruby lips they gave my heart no rest

[00:00:35] The name she bore was Flora the lily of the west

[00:00:46] I courted lovely Flora she promised ne'er to go

[00:00:53] But soon a tale was told to me that filled

[00:00:58] My heart with woe

[00:01:00] They said she meets another man who holds my love in jest

[00:01:07] And yet I trusted Flora the lily of the west

[00:01:19] 'Way down in yonder shady grove a man of low degree

[00:01:27] He spoke unto my Flora there and kissed her 'neath a tree

[00:01:35] The answers that she gave to him like arrows pierced my breast

[00:01:41] I was betrayed by Flora the lily of the west

[00:01:53] I stepped up to my rival my dagger in my hand

[00:02:00] I seized him by the collar and I ordered him to stand

[00:02:06] All in my desperation I stabbed him in his breast

[00:02:15] I'd killed a man for Flora the lily of the west

[00:02:27] And then I had to stand my trial

[00:02:33] I had to make my plea

[00:02:35] They placed me in a pris'ner's dock and then commenced on me

[00:02:43] Although she swore my life away deprived me of my rest

[00:02:52] Still I love my faithless Flora the lily of the west
