[Verse 1]
     G                Em
Down in the willow garden
      G                  Em
Where me and my love did meet
G                     Em
As we set there a courtin'
   G         D       G
My love fell off to sleep
  Em              G        Em
I had a bottle of burgundy wine
   G                Em
My love she did not know
G                              Em
So I poisoned that dear little girl
G      D       G
On the banks below
 
 
[Verse 2]
  G                    Em
I drew a saber through her
   G            Em
It was a bloody knife
  G                  Em
I threw her in the river
      G     D        G
Which was a dreadful sight
   Em             G    Em
My father oft had told me
     G                  Em
That money would set me free
   G                               Em
If I would murder that dear little girl
      G        D          G    G
Whose name was Rose Connelly
 
 
[Verse 3]
   G                        Em
My father sits at his cabin door
G                      Em
Wiping his tear dimmed eyes
        G                   Em
For his only son soon shall walk
   G       D       G
To yonder scaffold high
   Em            G         Em
My race is run beneath the sun
     G                     Em
The scaffold now waits for me
    G                             Em
For I did murder that dear little girl
      G        D          Em
Whose name was Rose Connelly
