Down In The Willow Garden |
Down in the willow garden |
Where me and my love did meet |
There we sat a-courtin' |
My love went off to sleep |
I had a bottle of Burgundy wine |
My true love she did not know |
And there I poisoned that dear little girl |
Down under the banks below |
I stabbed her with my dagger |
Which was a bloody knife |
I threw her into the river |
Which was a dreadful sign |
My father often told me |
That money would set me free |
If I would murder that dear little girl |
Whose name was Rose Connolly |
And now he sits be his own cottage door |
Wiping his tear-dimmed eyes |
And now he waits for his own dear son |
Upon the scaffold high |
My race is run, beneath the sun |
The hell’s now waiting for me |
For I have murdered that dear little girl |
Whose name was Rose Connelly |
