Misc Traditional – Down In The Willow Garden Aka Rose Connelly (Guitar)

C           F      C   Am        C                       Am
Down in the willow garden, where me and my true love did meet

C     F     C    Am      C         G      C
As we sat a-courtin', my love fell off to sleep

  Am              C          Am    C                   Am
I had a bottle of burglar’s* wine, my love she did not know

    C       F             C           Am      C       G        C
And there I poisoned that dear little girl, along the banks below

C        F     C       Am      C            Am
I drew a sabre through her, it was a bloody knife

C           F     C   Am        C     G        C 
I threw her in the river, which was a dreadful sight

  Am            C    Am       C                   Am 
My father often told me, that money would set me free

C           F          C           Am          C       G       C
If I would murder that dear little girl, whose name was Rose Connelly 

C                  F     C     Am         C           Am
Father sits at his cabin door, wiping his tear-dimmed eyes

C            F     C        Am       C        G      C 
For his only son soon shall walk, to yonder scaffold high

  Am              C          Am      C                      Am 
My race is run, beneath the sun, the scaffold now waits for me

C           F         C           Am         C       G        C 
For I did murder that dear little girl, whose name was Rose Connelly
