Ellen Smith |
| Poor Ellen Smith |
| Lord and how she was found |
| She was shot through the heart |
| Lying cold on the ground |
| Her clothes were all ragged |
| And her curls on the ground |
| And the blood marked the spot |
| Where poor Ellen was found |
| They picked up her body |
| And off they did go |
| To that lonesome ole graveyard |
| I’ll see her no more |
| Well they took up their rifles |
| And hunted me down |
| They found me a loafing |
| Around through the town |
| I got a letter yesterday |
| I rad it today |
| Said the flowers on her grav |
| Had all faded away |
| I’m goin' back home |
| Lord I’ll stay when I go |
| On poor Ellen’s grave |
| Pretty flowers I will sow |
