Lyrics: [Verse 1] When first I came to Louisville, some pleasure there to find A damsel there from Lexington was pleasing to my mind Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips, like arrows pierced my breast And the name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west [Verse 2] I courted lovely Flora some pleasure for to find But she turned unto another man whose sore distressed my mind She robbed me of my liberty, deprived me of my rest Then go, my lovely Flora, the lily of the west [Verse 3] Away down in yonder shady grove, a man of high degree Conversing with my Flora there, it seemed so strange to me And the answer that she gave to him it sore did me oppress I was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west [Verse 4] I stepped up my rival, dagger in my hand I seized him by the collar, and body made him stand Seeing mad by desperation I pierced him to the breast All this for lovely Flora, the lily of the west [Verse 5] I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea They placed me in the witness box and then commenced on me Although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest Still I love my faithless Flora, the Lily of the west
When first I came to Louisville, some pleasure there to find A damsel there from Lexington was pleasing to my mind Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips, like arrows pierced my breast And the name she bore was Flora, the Lily of the West I courted lovely Flora, some pleasure there to find But she turned unto another man which sore distressed my mind She robbed me of my liberty, deprived me of my rest Then go, my lovely Flora, the Lily of the West Way down in yonder shady grove, a man of high degree Conversing with my Flora there, it seemed so strange to me And the answer that she gave to him, it sore 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 seized him by the collar and I boldly bade him stand Being mad to desperation I pierced him in the breast Then go, my lovely Flora, the Lily of the West And 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 Still I love my faithless Flora, the Lily of the West
I know this song from Peter, Paul and Mary....the lyrics are a little different....WHO IS THIS ????? Was looking for this for my work collegue....Lilly of the EAST
Richard Harkness - Anne Byrne (singing) and Jesse Owens (guitar). It seems to have been recorded in the Abbey Tavern in Howth near Dublin. Coming back to it myself as Anne has sadly passed away this week.
I've heard Irish Folk, American Bluegrass, and even rock-and-roll versions of this song, but Peter Paul & Mary's is still my favorite: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WXpFgexxFWs.html
NeeKoLaj Its Croatian, sang in Croatian language by a Croatian artist. Since Juga doesn't exist anymore he is Croatian whether he likes it or not. I certainly don't like him and dont really care about him , you can take him to your Serbia, but he did a great cover of the song.
He is Yugoslav, he says it himself. The song is in Serbo-Croatian, the official language of that time. The song is from a musical movement that existed only during Yugoslavia. If you want to argue that such a thing as Yugoslavs don't exist, then sod off.
I don't really give a F but the song IS in Croatian language, as almost all of Azra's songs are. On a side note, for all you nationalists fucks Štulić is born in Macedonia and the fact that his father's name is Ivan and not Jovan is enough for me.
1. Listen up you serbian piece of shit. There was, there is and there will always be a Croatian language. First of all not all Croats speak shtokavian dialect, which doesen't mean that shtokavian is purely serbian because of that, there is also kajkavian and chakavian which only shows how rich our language and culture is unlike yours. 2. It is known from the beginning of time that Ivan = Croatian, Jovan = Serbian. 3. Prvo srbi pa amebe? Nabijem te nakurac.
Bob Dylan's favorite song (by themselves). A very impressive story, one inescapable fate ...(still i love you Flora...maybe, perhaps, Claudia?... a fate for a life?)
Du warst 7 Stunden unterwegs? Bist du arbeitslos? Üblicherweise arbeitet man 8 Stunden und da sind Hin- und Rückweg nicht einberechnet. Ich für meinen Teil war arbeiten und hab zufälligerweise kurz nach dir geantwortet.
Wie kommst du auf Schwarze, du Sautrottel? Wegen der Glatze? Meine Güte, bist du beschränkt... Und Nein, ich spritz keine Anabolika. Von einsam kann auch keine Rede sein, also fällt dein kleines Kartenhaus zusammen.
Uh, voll ins schwarze getroffen, oder? Fett und kein Sexualleben. Das les ich zumindest aus deiner Reaktion heraus ^^ Und ja, es gibt mir ein gutes Gefühl. Ich mach nicht 4 Mal die Woche Kraft- und Ausdauertraining, dass ich faule, fette und dumme Menschen bemitleiden muss.
Ich glaub Reife hat auch etwas damit zu tun, dass man weiß, wann es angebracht ist seine Meinung zu äußern und wann nicht! RU-vid ist voller kleiner Kinder wie dir, denen dies nicht gefällt und jenes besser gefällt. In Wahrheit interessiert das keine Sau!
Haha, ich hab grad gesehen, dass du eh Deutsch sprichst! Du kleiner Scheißer! Keine Sau interessiert, was du mehr magst, das hier ist das Original und das hast du gefälligst zu respektieren. 19, hm? Dummes Kind! Und lern besser Englisch!
