Introdução:
C Am
Down in the willow garden,
C Am
where me and my love did meet
C Am
As we sat a-courtin',
C G C
my love fell off to sleep
Am C Am
I had a bottle of burgundy wine,
C Am
my love she did not know
C Am
So I poisoned that dear little girl,
C G C
along the banks below
Am C
I drew a sabre through her,
C Am
it was a bloody knife
C Am
I threw her in the river,
C G C
which was a dreadful sight
Am C Am
My father often told me,
C Am
that money would set me free
C Am
If I would murder that dear little girl,
C G C
whose name was Rose Connolly
Am C Am
My father sits at his cabin door,
C Am
wiping his tear-dimmed eyes
C Am
For his only son soon shall walk,
C G C
to yonder scaffold high
Am C Am
My race is run, beneath the sun,
C Am
the scaffold now waits for me
C Am
For I did murder that dear little girl,
C G C
whose name was Rose Connelly
