- "Lily of the West" is a traditional British and Irish folk song, best known today as an American folk song, listed as number 957 in the Roud Folk Song Index. The American version is about a man who travels to Louisville and falls in love with a woman named Mary, Flora or Molly, the eponymous Lily of the West. He catches Mary being unfaithful to him, and, in a fit of rage, stabs the man she is with, and is subsequently imprisoned. In spite of this, he finds himself still in love with her. In the original version, the Lily testifies in his defense and he is freed, though they do not resume their relationship. The lyrics to the first verse, as famously sung by Joan Baez: When first I came to Louisville, some pleasure there to findA damsel there from Lexington was pleasing to my mindHer rosy cheeks, her ruby lips, like arrows pierced my breastAnd the name she bore was Flora, the lily of the West - and every verse ends with a repetition of the phrase, Flora, the lily of the West.

- Lily of the West est une chanson traditionnelle irlandaise, désormais passée dans le répertoire de la musique folk américaine. La version américaine raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui se rend à Louisville dans le Kentucky et tombe amoureux d'une femme nommée Mary (ou parfois Flora ou Molly), dont le surnom est Lily of the West (« le lys de l'Ouest »). Il s'aperçoit que Mary lui est infidèle : il poignarde alors son rival dans un accès de rage, ce qui lui vaut d'être emprisonné mais ne l'empêche pas de rester amoureux. Dans la version originale, Lily témoigne en sa faveur et il est ainsi libéré ; mais ils ne reprennent pas leur liaison par la suite. (fr)
