Down in the Willow Garden

[Verse 1]
Down in the willow garden
Where me and my love did meet
That's where I set a-courtin'
My love fell off to sleep

[Verse 2]
I gave her a bottle of burgundy wine
Which my true love did not know
And there I poisoned that dear little girl
Down by the banks below

[Verse 3]
I drew my sabre through her
It was a bloody night
I threw her into the river
It was an awful sight

[Verse 4]
My father often told me, son
That money would set me free
If I did murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rosе Connelly

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 5]
And now he sits by his own cabin door
Wipin' his tear-dimmеd eyes
Mourning for his only son
Who's on that scaffold high

[Verse 6]
My race is run beneath the sun
And Hell is waiting for me
For I did murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly

[Outro]
For I did murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly
