Lyrics
The Lily of the West
Irish Traditional
©2008 Arranged by Marijanh
I.
It`s when I came to England/ some pleasure for to find
Where I espied a damsel/ most pleasing to my mind
Her rosy cheeks and rolling eyes/ like arrows pierced my breast
And they called her lovely Flora/ the lily of the west
II.
I courted lovely Flora/ in hopes her love to gain
But soon she turned her back on me/ which caused me all my pain
She robbed me of my liberty/ she robbed me of my rest
I roamed forsaken by Flora/ the lily of the west
III.
One day as I was walking/ down by a shady grove
I espied a lord of high degree/ conversing with my love
She sung a song delightful/ while I was sore opressed
Saying – bid adieu to flora/ the lily of the west
IV.
I walked up to my rival/ with dagger in my hand
And seized him from my own false/ love and boldly made him stand
Then mad with desperation/ I swore I`d pierce his breast
And I was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west
V.
So it`s now I`v gained my liberty/ a roving I will go
I`ll ramble through old Ireland/ I`ll travel Scotland too
Although she swore my life away/ she still disturbes my rest
I must rumble for my Flora/ The Lily of the West
