I Sit In My Prison Cell So Dreary
With A Sad And Aching Heart
Thinking Only Of My Darlin'
From Whom Forever I Must Part
A Rose She Sent Me As A Token
Said She Try And Forget Your Gloom
And To Tell Me That Her Heart Is Broken
The Rose She Took It From The Garden
Where Together We Once Walked Side By Side
And To Tell Me That I Hold No Pardon
That She Could Never Be My Bride
The Judge Would Not Believe My Story
The Jury Said I'd Have To Pay
But To The Rose In All It's Glory
Not Guilty Is All That I Can Say
To-morrow As The Day Is Dawning
I'll Meet My Maker In Re-pose
But When They Find Me In The Morning
At My Heart They'll Find This Rose
