The Everly Brothers – Down In The Willow Garden (Guitar)

G           C      G  Em
Down in the willow garden,

      G                  Em
where me and my love did meet

G     C     G   Em
As we sat a-courtin',

   G         D      G
my love fell off to sleep

  Em    D         G        Em
I had a bottle of burgundy wine,

   G                Em
my love she did not know

G    C             G           Em
So I poisoned that dear little girl,

G         D       G
along the banks below

  G      C     G       Em
I drew a sabre through her,

   G            Em
it was a bloody knife

  G         C      G Em
I threw her in the river,

      G     D        G
which was a dreadful sight

   Em     D     G    Em
My father often told me,

     G                  Em
that money would set me free

   G       C           G           Em
If I would murder that dear little girl,

      G        D          G
whose name was Rose Connolly

   Em     D           G     Em
My father sits at his cabin door,

G                      Em
wiping his tear-dimmed eyes

        G    C   G          Em      
For his only son soon shall walk,

   G      D        G
to yonder scaffold high

   Em      D       G        Em
My race is run, beneath the sun,

    G                      Em
the scaffold now waits for me

    G     C           G           Em
For I did murder that dear little girl,

      G        D          Em
whose name was Rose Connelly
