Convict And The Rose Lyrics
Convict and the Rose - Hank Snow
Written by：Betty Chapin/Robert King
Within my prison cell so dreary
Alone I sit with weary heart
I'm thinking of my lonely darling
From her forever I must part
A rose she sent me as a token
She sent it just to light his gloom
To tell me that her heart was broken
To cheer me fore I meet my doom
She wrote I took it from the garden
Where once we wandered side by side
But now you hold no hope of pardon
And I can never be your bride
The judge would not believe his story
The jury said he have to pay
Now to the rose and all its glory
Not guilty is all that I can say
Goodbye sweetheart for in the morning
I'll meet my maker and repose
And when I go at daylight darling
Against my heart they'll find your rose
