Lily Of The West - Bob Dylan

Lily Of The West LRC歌词

[00:13.90]When first I came to Louisville, some pleasure there to find

[00:41.12]A damsel there from Lexington was pleasing to my mind

[00:47.99]Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips, like arrows pierced my breast

[00:54.61]And the name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west.

[01:01.46]I courted lovely Flora some pleasure for to find

[01:16.81]But she turned unto another man whose sore distressed my mind

[01:23.59]She robbed me of my liberty, deprived me of my rest

[01:30.60]Then go, my lovely Flora, the lily of the west.

[01:37.16]Away down in yonder shady grove, a man of high degree

[01:52.73]Conversin' with my Flora there, it seemed so strange to me

[01:59.42]And the answer that she gave to him it sore did me oppress

[02:06.18]I was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west.

[02:12.85]I stepped up my rival, dagger in my hand

[02:26.41]I seized him by the collar, and bodly made him stand

[02:33.12]Seing mad by desperation I pierced him to the breast

[02:39.72]All this for lovely Flora, the lily of the west.

[02:47.47]I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea

[03:02.99]They placed me in the witness box and then commenced on me

[03:09.56]Although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest

[03:16.18]Still I love my faithless the Flora, Lily of the west.
