《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

[00:00:22] 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

[00:00:36] 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

[00:01:27] Way down in yonder shady grove

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

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

[00:01:38] It seemed so strange to me

[00:01:41] And the answer that she gave to him

[00:01:45] It sure did me oppress

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

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

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

[00:02:04] My dagger in my hand

[00:02:07] I seized him by the collar

[00:02:10] And I boldly made him stand

[00:02:14] Being mad to desperation

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

[00:02:21] Then go my lovely flora

[00:02:25] The lily of the west

[00:02:33] I had to stand my trial

[00:02:36] I had to make my plea

[00:02:40] They placed me in the criminal box

[00:02:43] And then commenced on me

[00:02:46] Although she swore my life away

[00:02:50] Deprived me of my rest

[00:02:53] And I still love my faithless flora

[00:02:57] The lily of the west
