lyrics

Down in the willow garden, where me and my true love did meet
Down where we sat a-courtin', my love fell off to sleep
I had a bottle of burgundy wine, my love she did not know
It was there I did murder that dear little girl, down on the banks below

I drew my saber through her, it was a bloody knife
And I pushed her into the river, it was a dreadful sight
My father always told me that money would set me free
If I'd but murder that dear little girl whose name was Rose Connelly

Now he sits and the door of his cabin home, a-wiping his tear dimmed eyes
For his only son is soon to hand upon the scaffold high
My race is run beneath the sun, the Devil is waiting for me
For i did murder that dear little girl, whose name was Rose Connelly
