     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
