Down In The Willow Garden |
Down in the willow garden |
Where me and my love did meet |
There we sat a courtin' |
My love dropped off to sleep |
I’d drunk a bottle of burgundy wine |
My love she did not know |
And there I poisoned that dear little girl |
Under the flank below |
I stabbed her with my dagger |
An ugly bloody knife |
I threw her into the river |
An ugly bloody sight |
My father up and told me |
That money would set me free |
If I would murder that dear little girl |
Whose name was Rose Connelly |
And now he sits by the window |
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 |
Hell is waiting for me |
For I did murder that dear little girl |
Whose name was Rose Connelly |
