 Subject: CRD: Lily of the West/Joan Baez
 Lily of the West - Arrangement by Joan Baez
 This comes from the Joan Baez's "Ring them Bells" CD.
 On that CD the guitars are tuned down 1/2 step and in
 standard tuning.
 
 
      Am              C    G
 When first I came to Louisville
      F                 Am
 Some pleasure there to find
   C      F                G
 A damsel there from Lexington
     F              Am
 Was pleasing to my mind
     F                     G
 Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips
      Am
 Like arrows pierced my breast
                           C  G
 And the name she bore was Flora
     C           Am
 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
