Down In The Willow Garden Lyrics - Unknown

1 Down in the willow garden

2 Where me and my love did meet

3 As we sat a-courtin'

4 My love fell off to sleep

5 I had a bottle of Burgundy wine

6 My love she did not know

7 So I poisoned that dear little girl

8 On the banks below

9 I drew a sabre through her

10 It was a bloody knife

11 I threw her in the river

12 Which was a dreadful sign

13 My father often told me

14 That money would set me free

15 If I would murder that dear little girl

16 Whose name was Rose Connelly

17 My father sits at his cabin door

18 Wiping his tear-dimmed eyes

19 For his only son soon shall walk

20 To yonder scaffold high

21 My race is run, beneath the sun

22 The scaffold waits for me

23 For I did murder that dear little girl

24 Whose name was Rose Connelly
