[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Am C G When first I came to Louisville F Am Some pleasure there to find C G A damsel there from Lexington F Am Was pleasing to my mind F G Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips Am Like arrows pierced my breast C G And the name she bore was Flora F Am The Lily Of The West
[Verse 2]
Am C G I courted lovely Flora F Am Some pleasure there to find C G She turned unto another man F Am Which sore distressed my mind F G She robbed me of my liberty Am Deprived me of my rest C G Still I love my faithless Flora F Am The Lily Of The West
[Verse 3]
Am C G Down in yonder shady grove F Am A man of lowly breed C G Conversing with my Flora there F Am It seemed so strange to me F G And the answer that she gave to him Am It sure did me oppress C G I was betrayed by Flora F Am The Lily Of The West
[Verse 4]
Am C G I stepped up to my rival F Am My dagger in my hand C G I grabbed him by the collar and F Am I boldly made him stand F G Being mad to desperation Am I pierced him in the breast C G All for my lovely Flora F Am The Lily Of The West
[Verse 5]
Am C G I had to stand my trial F Am I had to make my plea C G They placed me in the criminal box F Am And then commenced on me F G Although she swore my life away Am Deprived me of my rest C G Still I love my faithless Flora F Am The Lily Of The West
[Outro]
