Down In The Willow Garden

Where me and my love did meet

As we set there a courtin

My love fell off to sleep

I had a bottle of burgundy wine

My love she did not know

And So I poisoned that dear little girl

On the banks below

I drew a saber through her

It was a bloody knife

I threw her into the river

Which was a dreadful sight

My dad oft had told to me

That money would set me free

If I would murder that dear little girl

Whose name was Rose Connelly

My father sits at his cabin door

Wiping his tear dimmed eyes

His only son soon shall walk

To yonder scaffold high

My race is run beneath the sun

The scaffold now waits for me

For I did murder that dear little girl

Whose name was Rose Connelly
