Flora

Peter, Paul & Mary

1:When fF#mirst I came to LEouisville my fDortune there to fF#mind
I met a fair young mEaiden there her bDeauty filled my mF#mind
her rosy cheek her rEuby lips they gDave my heart no rF#mest
the name she bore was FlorEa the lDily of the wF#mest.
2:I courted lovely Flora she promised ne'er to go
but soon a tale was told to me that filled my heart with woe
they said she meets another man who holds my love in jest
and yet I trusted Flora the lily of the west.
3:'Way down in yonder shady grove a man of low degree
he spoke unto my Flora there and kissed her 'neath a tree
the answers that she gave to him like arrows pierced my breast
I was betrayed by Flora the lily of the west.
4:I stepped up to my rival my dagger in my hand
I seized him by the collar and I ordered him to stand
all in my desperation I stabbed him in his breast
I'd killed a man for Flora the lily of the west.
5:And then I had to stand my trial I had to make my plea
they placed me in a pris'ner's dock and then commended on me
although she swore my life away deprived me of my rest
still I love my faithless Flora the lily of the west.
