[Verse 1]
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
(And the name she bore was Flora)
(The lily of the west)
[Verse 2]
I courted lovely Flora
Some pleasure for to find
But she turned unto another man
Whose 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
(Then go, my lovely Flora)
(The lily of the west)
