The Willow Garden Lyrics
Down in the willow garden, me and my love did meet
And as we sat courting, my love fell off to sleep
I had a bottle of burgundy wine, my love, she did not know
So I poisoned that dear little girl along the banks below
Along the banks below
I drew my saber through her, it was a bloody night
I threw her in the river, which was a dreadful sight
My father often told me that money would set me free
So I murdered that dear little girl whose name was Rose Connelly
Whose name was Rose Connelly
My father sits at his cabin door, wiping his tear-dimmed eyes
His only son soon should walk to yonder scaffold high
My race is run beneath the sun, scaffold now waits for me
For I did murder that dear little girl, whose name was Rose Connelly
Whose name was Rose Connelly, whose name was Rose Connelly
And as we sat courting, my love fell off to sleep
I had a bottle of burgundy wine, my love, she did not know
So I poisoned that dear little girl along the banks below
Along the banks below
I threw her in the river, which was a dreadful sight
My father often told me that money would set me free
So I murdered that dear little girl whose name was Rose Connelly
Whose name was Rose Connelly
His only son soon should walk to yonder scaffold high
My race is run beneath the sun, scaffold now waits for me
For I did murder that dear little girl, whose name was Rose Connelly
Whose name was Rose Connelly, whose name was Rose Connelly
