 -3'  -3' -6  6   -6  5  5   -4
When first I came to Lou-is-ville 
 4    -3'  -3    4   -4  -3'
Some plea-sure there to find  
6  6   5    6    7    7   7  -7
A dam-sel there from Lex-ing-ton  
-7   -6   6   5  6   -6
Was pleas-in' to my mind  
-6  -6 6   -6      7  7  7   -7
Her ro-sy cheeks, her ru-by lips  
 -7  -6  6      5    6    -6
Like ar-rows pierced my breast  
-3' -3'  -3' -6   6   -6   5  -4
And the name she bore was Flo-ra
