The Convict and the Rose |
| 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 him as a token she sent it just to light his gloom) |
| To tell me that her heart is 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 had 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’ll go at daylight dawning against my heart they’ll find your rose |
