First I [C] came to [G] Louisville, [F] some pleasure [Am] there to find
A [C] damsel there from [G] Lexington was [F]
pleasing [Am] to my mind
[F] Her rosy cheeks [G] and her belly like [Am] a rose kissed my breast
Then she [C] goes to [G] Flora, [F] the lily [Am] of the valley
[C] [G] I
[F] [Am]
called it [C] lovely [G] Flora, [F] some pleasure called [Am] to find
But she turned on to [G] another man [F] who would so distress my [Am] mind
She [F] robbed me of my [G] liberty, [Am] deprived me of my rest
Oh my lovely [F]
[G] Flora, [Am] my lily of the valley
[C] [G]
[Dm] [Am]
Way down in yonder [G] shady grove, [F] a man of [Am] high degree
Conversing with my [G] Flora there, [F] it seemed so [Am] strange to me
[F] And the answer that she [G] gave to him, [Am]
it so did me, oh Prince
I was betrayed [C] by [G] Flora, [F] the lily of [Am] the valley
[C] I [G]
[F] [Am]
stepped up to my [G] rival,
[F] dagger in [Am] my hand
And seized him by the [G] collar, [F]
[Am] boldly made his stand
[F] Seeing that by [G]
desperation, [Am] I pierced him to the breast
Oh this old [G] lovely Flora, [F] the lily [Am] of the valley
[C] [G] I
[F] [Am]
had to [C] stand my [G] trial, [F] I had to make [Am] my plea
They placed me [C] in a [G] witless box, [F] and then commenced [Am] on me
Although [G] she stole my life away, [F] deprived me [Am] of my rest
Still I love my [C] faithless [G] Flora, [F] the lily [Am] of the valley
[C] [G] [F] [Am]
