    Verse 1
    When 
    first 
    I came to 
    Louisville, 

    some 
    pleasure 
    there to 
    find 

    damsel 
    there from 
    Lex
    ing

    ton 
    was 
    pleasing 
    to my 
    mind 

    Her 
    rosy 
    cheeks, her 
    ruby 
    lips, 

    like 
    arrows 
    pierced my 
    breast 

    The name she 
    bore was 
    Flora, 

    the 
    Lily 
    of the 
    West

    (And the name she 
    bore was 
    Flora, 

    the 
    Lily 
    of the 
    West) I 
    courted 
    lovely 
    Flora, 
    some 
    pleasure 
    for to 
    find

    But 
    she turned 
    un
    to another 
    man, 

    which 
    sore distressed 
    my 
    mind 

    She 
    robbed me 
    of my 
    liber
    ty, 

    de
    prived me 
    off my 
    rest 

    Then go, my 
    lovely 
    Flora, 

    the Lily 
    of the 
    West 

    (Then go, my 
    lovely 
    Flor
    a, 

    the 
    Lily 
    of the 
    West) 

    'Way 
    down in 
    yonder 
    shady 
    Verse 2
    grove, 

    man 
    of high de
    gree 

    Conversing 
    with my 
    Flora 
    there, 

    which seemed 
    so 
    strange 
    to 
    me 

    And 
    the answer 
    that she 
    gave to 
    him, 

    it 
    sore did 
    me oppress 

    I was betrayed 
    by 
    Flor
    a, 

    the 
    Lily 
    of 
    the 
    West 

    (I was betrayed 
    by 
    Flor
    a, 

    the 
    Lily 
    of the 
    West) 

    Verse 3
    I stepped 
    up to my 
    rival, 

    dag
    ger 
    in my 
    hand 

    seized 
    him by 
    the 
    collar, 

    and 
    boldly 
    made him 
    stand 

    Being 
    mad by 
    desperation, 

    pierced him 
    through the 
    breast 

    All 
    this for 
    lovely 
    Flor
    a, 

    the Lily 
    of 
    the West 

    (This for 
    lovely 
    Flora, 

    the 
    Lily 
    of the 
    West) 

    I had to 
    stand my 
    tri
    al, I 
    Verse 4

    had to 
    make my 
    plea 

    They 
    placed 
    me in the 
    wit
    ness 
    box, 

    and 
    then commenced 
    on 
    me 

    Although 
    she 
    swore my 
    life 
    away, 

    de
    prived me 
    of my 
    rest 

    Still I 
    love my 
    faithless 
    Flor
    a, 

    the 
    Lily 
    of 
    the 
    West 

    (Still I love my 
    faithless 
    Flora, 

    the 
    Lily 
    of the West)

      Best Tuning App Ever

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
