Key : G
[Verse]
G Em
Down in the willow garden
G Em
Where me and my love did meet
G C
And there we sat a courting
G D G
My love fell off to sleep
C G Em
I had a bottle of burgundy wine
G Em
My love she did not know
G C
And there I poisoned that dear little girl
G D G
Down by the banks below
Em
I drew my saber through her
G Em
It was a bloody knife
G C
I threw her in the river
G D G
It was a dreadful sight
C G Em
My father often told me
G Em
That money would set me free
G C
If I did murder that dear little girl
G D G
Whose name was Rose Connelly
Em
Now he sits in his own cabin door
G Em
A-wiping his tear-brimmed eye
G C
Weeping for his only son
G D G
On yonder scaffold high
Em G Em
My race is run beneath the sun
G Em
The devil is waiting for me
G C
For I murdered that dear little girl
G D G
Whose name was Rose Connelly
