Bm F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m
Bm D A D E Bm F#m Bm
When first I came to Louisville, my fortune there to find,
Bm D F#m G D F#m Bm
I met a fair young maiden there, her beauty filled my mind.
Bm D F#m Bm F#m Bm
Her rosy cheek, her ruby lips, they gave my heart no rest.
Bm D E Em Bm A Bm
The name she bore was Flo------ra, the lily of the west.
Bm D A D E Bm F#m Bm
I courted lovely Flora, she promised ne'er to go.
Bm D F#m G D F#m Bm
But soon a tale was told to me that filled my heart with woe.
Bm D F#m Bm F#m Bm
They said she meets another man who holds my love in jest.
Bm D E Em Bm A Bm
And yet I trusted Flo----ra, the lily of the west.
Bm D A D E Bm F#m Bm
'Way down in yonder shady grove, a man of low degree,
Bm D F#m G D F#m Bm
He spoke unto my Flora there and kissed her 'neath a tree.
Bm D F#m Bm F#m Bm
The answers that she gave to him like arrows pierced my breast.
Bm D E Em Bm A Bm
I was betrayed by Flo---ra, the lily of the west.
Bm D A D E Bm F#m Bm
I stepped up to my rival, my dagger in my hand.
Bm D F#m G D F#m Bm
I seized him by the collar and I ordered him to stand.
Bm D F#m Bm F#m Bm
All in my desperation I stabbed him in his breast.
Bm D E Em Bm A Bm
I'd killed a man for Flo---ra, the lily of the west.
Bm D A D E Bm F#m Bm
And then I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea.
Bm D F#m G D F#m Bm
They placed me in a pris'ner's dock and then commenced on me.
Bm D F#m Bm F#m Bm
Although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest.
Bm D E Em Bm A Bm
Still I love my faithless Flo---ra, the lily of the west.
