Joan Baez - Lily of the West слова песни
Lily of the WestArrangement by Joan Baez 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 She turned unto another manWhich sore distressed my mindShe robbed me of my liberty Deprived me of my rest Still I love my faithless FloraThe Lily Of The West Down in yonder shady grove A man of high degreeConversing with my Flora thereIt seemed so strange to me And the answer that she gave to himIt sure did me oppressI was betrayed by Flora The Lily Of The WestI stepped up to my rivalMy dagger in my handI seized him by the collar andI boldly made him standBeing mad to desperation I pierced him in the breastAll for my lovely Flora The Lily Of The WestI had to stand my trialI had to make my pleaThey placed me in the criminal boxAnd then commenced on meAlthough she swore my life awayDeprived me of my restAnd I still love my faithless FloraThe Lily Of The West
