When first I came to Louisville, my fortune there to find,
B minorBm            D MajorD      F# minorF#m     G+G  D MajorD  F# minorF#m   B minorBm
I met a fair young maiden there, her beauty filled my mind.
B minorBm              D MajorD   F# minorF#m     B minorBm    F# minorF#m    B minorBm
Her rosy cheek, her ruby lips, they gave my heart no rest.
B minorBm                 D MajorD     E MajorE E minorEm    B minorBm  A augmentedA  B minorBm
The name she bore was Flo------ra,    the lily of the west.

B minorBm          D MajorD  A augmentedA     D MajorD           E MajorE B minorBm  F# minorF#m B minorBm
I courted lovely Flora, she promised ne'er to go.
B minorBm            D MajorD      F# minorF#m     G+G  D MajorD  F# minorF#m    B minorBm
But soon a tale was told to me that filled my heart with woe.
B minorBm                 D MajorD   F# minorF#m     B minorBm    F# minorF#m    B minorBm
They said she meets another man who holds my love in jest.
B minorBm           D MajorD    E MajorE E minorEm    B minorBm  A augmentedA  B minorBm
And yet I trusted Flo----ra,    the lily of the west.

B minorBm               D MajorD    A augmentedA      D MajorD         E MajorE B minorBm  F# minorF#m B minorBm
'Way down in yonder shady grove, a man of low degree,
B minorBm            D MajorD    F# minorF#m     G+G    D MajorD  F# minorF#m    B minorBm
He spoke unto my Flora there and kissed her 'neath a tree.
B minorBm               D MajorD     F# minorF#m   B minorBm    F# minorF#m     B minorBm
The answers that she gave to him like arrows pierced my breast.
B minorBm            D MajorD   E MajorE E minorEm    B minorBm  A augmentedA  B minorBm
I was betrayed by Flo---ra,    the lily of the west.

B minorBm             D MajorD A augmentedA    D MajorD       E MajorE  B minorBm  F# minorF#m B minorBm
I stepped up to my rival, my dagger in my hand.
B minorBm             D MajorD    F# minorF#m  G+G  D MajorD  F# minorF#m  B minorBm
I seized him by the collar and I ordered him to stand.
B minorBm          D MajorD F# minorF#m B minorBm       F# minorF#m B minorBm
All in my desperation I stabbed him in his breast.
B minorBm             D MajorD   E MajorE E minorEm    B minorBm  A augmentedA  B minorBm
I'd killed a man for Flo---ra,    the lily of the west.

B minorBm            D MajorD      A augmentedA    D MajorD          E MajorE  B minorBm  F# minorF#m B minorBm
And then I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea.
B minorBm              D MajorD       F# minorF#m    G+G   D MajorD  F# minorF#m      B minorBm
They placed me in a pris'ner's dock and then commenced on me.
B minorBm                 D MajorD   F# minorF#m  B minorBm      F# minorF#m  B minorBm
Although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest.
B minorBm                D MajorD   E MajorE E minorEm    B minorBm  A augmentedA  B minorBm
Still I love my faithless Flo---ra,    the lily of the west.
