The Convict and the Rose |
Within my prison cell so dreary |
I sit alone with achin' heart |
I’m dreamin' of my little darlin' |
From her forever, I must part |
The rose she sent me as a token |
She sent it just to lighten my gloom |
And tell me that her heart was broken |
And cheer me before I meet my doom |
The judge would not believe my story |
The jury said I had to pay |
And with the rose in all its glory |
«Not guilty"was all that I could say |
Goodbye, sweetheart, for in the morning |
To meet my Maker I must go |
And when I die at daylight’s dawnin' |
Against my heart they’ll find this rose |
Within my prison cell so dreary |
I sit alone with achin' heart |
I’m dreamin' of my little darlin' |
From her forever, I must part |
