		A damsel there from Lexington
>		    F              Am
		Was pleasing to my mind

		Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips

		Like arrows pierced my breast

		The Lily Of The West
		I courted lovely Flora
		Some pleasure there to find
		She turned unto another man
		Which sore distressed my mind
		She robbed me of my liberty
		Deprived me of my rest
		Still I love my faithless Flora
		The Lily Of The West
		Down in yonder shady grove
		A man of lowly breed
		Conversing with my Flora there
		It seemed so strange to me
		And the answer that she gave to him
		It sure did me oppress
		I was betrayed by Flora
		The Lily Of The West
		I stepped up to my rival
		My dagger in my hand
		I grabbed him by the collar and
		I boldly made him stand
		Being mad to desperation
		I pierced him in the breast
		All for my lovely Flora
		The Lily Of The West
		I had to stand my trial
		I had to make my plea
		They placed me in the criminal box
		And then commenced on me
		Although she swore my life away
		Deprived me of my rest
		And I (still) love my faithless Flora
		The Lily Of The West
