Lily Of The West

C Dm G Am C G Am

Am                G
When I first came to Louisville
                  Am
Pleasure there to find
                  G
Damsel there from Lexington
F             Am
A pleasure to my mind
F                         G
Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips
     Am
Like arrows pierced my breast
                  G
The name she bore was Flora
            Am
Lily of the west

Am               G
I courted lovely Flora
                Am
Pleasure for to find
G
She's tryin' to find another man
           Am
Which sore distressed my mind
F                          G
She robbed me of my liberty
Am
Deprived me of my rest
               G
I was betrayed by Flora
            Am
Lily of the west

Am C G Am

Am           G
I stood upon my rival
             Am
Dagger in my hand
  C                 G
I seized him by the collar
F           Am
Boldly made him stand
F                        G
Seemed mad by desperation
  Am
I pierced him to his breast
             G
All this for lovely Flora
            Am
Lily of the west

Am C G Am G Am

Am       G
I had to stand my trial
                 Am
I had to make my plea
C                             G
They put me in the witness box
     Am
Then commenced to me
F                          G
Although she swore my life away
Am
Deprived me of my rest
                          G
Still I love my faithless Flora
            Am
Lily of the west

Am                        G
Still I love my faithless Flora
        Am
Lily of the west
