The Convict And The Rose - Elton Britt

Within my prison cellso dreary

Alone I sit with broken heart

I'm thinking of my lonely darling

From her forever I must part

A river she sent me as a token

She sent it just to light my gloom

To tell me that her heart is broken

To cheer me unto meet my doom

The judge would not believe my story

The Jury said I'd have to pay

But to the rose in all it's glory

Not guilty is all that I can say

Goodbye sweetheart for in the morning

I'll meet my maker in repose

And when I go at daylight's dawning

Against my heart they'll find your rose
