Lily of the West - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)
When first I came to louisville
Some pleasure there to find

A damsel there from Lexington
Was pleasing to my mind
Her rosy cheeks
Her ruby lips
Like arrows pierced my breast
And the name she bore was Flora
The lily of the west

I courted lovely flora

Some pleasure there to find
But' she turned unto another man
Which sore distressed my mind

She robbed me of my liberty

Deprived me of my rest
Then go my lovely Flora

The lily of the west

Way down in yonder shady grove
A man of high degree
Conversing with my Flora there
It seemed so strange to me
And the answer
That she gave to him
It sure did me oppress

I was betrayed by Flora
The lily of the west

I stepped up to my rival
My dagger in my hand
I seized him by the collar
And I boldly made him stand

Being mad
To desperation
I pierced him in the breast

Then go' my lovely Flora

The lily of the west

I had to stand my trial
I had to make my plea
They placed me in the criminal box
And then commenced on me

Although she swore my life away
Deprived me of my rest

I still love my faithless Flora
The lily of the west
