《The Lily of the West》歌词

[00:00:00] The 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

[00:00:23] A damsel there from Lexington

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

[00:00:30] Her rosy cheeks her ruby lips

[00:00:33] Like arrows pierced my breast

[00:00:36] And the name she bore was Flora

[00:00:40] The Lily Of The West

[00:00:48] I courted lovely Flora

[00:00:52] Some pleasure there to find

[00:00:56] But she turned unto another man

[00:00:59] Which sore distressed my mind

[00:01:02] She robbed me of my liberty

[00:01:06] Deprived me of my rest

[00:01:10] Then go my lovely Flora

[00:01:14] 'The Lily Of The West

[00:01:29] We down in yonder shady grove

[00:01:33] A man of high degree

[00:01:37] Conversing with my Flora there

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

[00:01:43] And the answer that she gave to him

[00:01:47] It sure did me oppress

[00:01:51] I was betrayed by Flora

[00:01:55] The Lily Of The West

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

[00:02:06] My dagger in my hand

[00:02:10] I seized him by the collar

[00:02:13] And I boldly made him stand

[00:02:16] Being mad to desperation

[00:02:20] I pierced him in the breast

[00:02:23] Then go my lovely Flora

[00:02:28] The Lily Of The West

[00:02:36] I had to stand my trial

[00:02:39] I had to make my plea

[00:02:42] They placed me in the criminal box

[00:02:46] And then commenced on me

[00:02:49] Although she swore my life away

[00:02:53] Deprived me of my rest

[00:02:56] I still love my faithless Flora

[00:03:00] The Lily Of The West
