[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
When Emfirst I came to GLouisDville
SomeC pleasure there to Emfind
AG damsel there from Lexington D
WasC pleasing to my mind Em
[Chorus]
HerC rosy cheeks, her ruby lips D
LikeEm arrows pierced my breast
And the name she bore was GFloDra
The CLily Of The EmWest
[Verse 2]
I Emcourted lovely GFloDra
SomeC pleasure there to Emfind
"But" she Gturned unto another man D
WhichC sore distressed my mind Em
[Chorus]
SheC robbed me of my liberty D
DepEmrived me of my rest
"Then go my lovely" GFloDra
The CLily Of The EmWest
[Verse 3]
"Way" Emdown in yonder Gshady Dgrove
AC man of high degEmree
ConGversing with my Flora there D
ItC seemed so strange to me Em
[Chorus]
And the Canswer that she gave to him D
It Emsure did me oppress
I was betrayed by GFloDra
The CLily Of The EmWest
[Verse 4]
I Emstepped up to my GriDval
MyC dagger in my Emhand
IG seized him by the collar and D
IC boldly made him stand Em
[Chorus]
Being Cmad to desperationD I Empierced him in the breast
"Then go" my lovely GFloDra
The CLily Of The EmWest
[Verse 5]
"And" I Emhad to stand my GtriDal
IC had to make my Emplea
TheyG placed me in the criminal box D
AndC then commenced on me Em
[Chorus]
AlCthough she swore my life aDway
DepEmrived me of my rest
Still I love my faithless GFloDra
The CLily Of The EmWest
[Outro]
Em
