The Lily Of The West
Joan Baez
Key : Bbm
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
A#m

[Verse 1]
---------------------
     A#m             C#   G#
When first I came to Louisville
    F#                 A#m
Some pleasure there to find
 C#                          G#
A damsel there from Lexington
   F#                  A#m
Was pleasing to my mind

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
   F#                         G#
Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips
    A#m
Like  arrows pierced my breast
                          C# G#
And the name she bore was Flora
    F#          A#m
The Lily Of The West

[Verse 2]
---------------------
  A#m            C# G#
I courted lovely Flora
    F#                 A#m
Some pleasure there to find
          C#                     G#
"But" she turned unto another man
     F#                      A#m
Which sore distressed my mind

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
   F#                      G#
She robbed me of my liberty
   A#m
Deprived me of my rest
                    C# G#
"Then go my lovely" Flora
    F#          A#m
The Lily Of The West

[Verse 3]
---------------------
      A#m            C#    G#
"Way" down in yonder shady grove
 F#              A#m
A man of high degree
   C#                         G#
Conversing with my Flora there
  F#                      A#m
It seemed so strange to me

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
        F#                         G#
And the answer that she gave to him
   A#m
It sure did me oppress
                  C# G#
I was betrayed by Flora
    F#          A#m
The Lily Of The West

[Verse 4]
---------------------
  A#m              C# G#
I stepped up to my rival
  F#            A#m
My dagger in my hand
 C#                           G#
I seized him by the collar and
 F#                    A#m
I boldly made him stand

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
      F#                G# A#m
Being mad to desperation I pierced him in the breast
                    C# G#
"Then go" my lovely Flora
    F#          A#m
The Lily Of The West

[Verse 5]
---------------------
        A#m             C# G#
"And" I had to stand my trial
 F#              A#m
I had to make my plea
    C#                            G#
They placed me in the criminal box
   F#                   A#m
And then commenced on me

[Chorus (5)]
---------------------
  F#                        G#
Although she swore my life away
   A#m
Deprived me of my rest
                          C# G#
Still I love my faithless Flora
    F#          A#m
The Lily Of The West

[Outro]
---------------------
A#m
