When first I came to Louisville

I courted lovely Flo ra

Down in yonder shady grove

I stepped up to my ri val

I had to stand my tri al

Some pleasure there to find

And to her I was so kind

A man of lowly breed

My dagger in my hand

I had to make my plea

A damsel there from Lexington

She turned unto another man

Conversing with my Flora there

I grabbed him by the collar and

They placed me in the criminal box

Was pleasing to my mind

Which sore distressed my mind

It seemed so strange to me

I boldly made him stand

And then commenced on me

Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips

She robbed me of my liberty

And the answer that she gave to him

Being mad to desperation

Although she swore my life away

Like arrows pierced my breast

Deprived me of my rest

It sure did me oppress

I pierced him in the breast

Deprived me of my rest

And the name she bore was Flora

Still I love my faithless Flora

I was betrayed by Flora

All for my lovely Flora

I still love my faithless Flora
