Down In The Willow Garden chords
American Folk (performed by the Everly Brothers)
[Intro]
Em
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
