Poor Ellen Smith |
| Poor Ellen Smith. |
| How was she found? |
| Shot through the heart lyin' dead on the |
| ground |
| Her body was mangled and all cast around and X marks the spot where poor Ellen |
| was found |
| They picked up her body, carried it away and now she’s a-sleepin' in some |
| lonesome old grave |
| Who had the heart and who had the brain to shoot my little Ellen on that cold |
| lonesome plain? |
| Poor Ellen Smith. |
| How was she found? |
| Shot through the heart lyin' dead on the |
| ground |
| Her body was mangled and all cast around and X marks the spot where poor Ellen |
| was found |
| They picked up their rifles and hunted us down. |
| They found us a-loafin' all |
| 'round town |
| The judge may convict me and God knows he can but I know I died as an innocent |
| man |
| Poor Ellen Smith. |
| How was she found? |
| Shot through the heart lyin' dead on the |
| ground |
| Her body was mangled and all cast around and X marks the spot where poor Ellen |
| was found |
| The warden has told me that soon I’ll be free to go to her grave near that old |
| willow tree |
| I’m free from the walls of that prison at last but I’ll never be free of my |
| sins from the past |
| Poor Ellen Smith. |
| How was she found? |
| Shot through the heart lyin' dead on the |
| ground |
| Her body was mangled and all cast around and X marks the spot where poor Ellen |
| was found |
