[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
C Am
Down in the willow garden
C Am
Where me and my love did meet
C Am
As we sat a-courting
C G C
My love fell off to sleep
Am C Am
I had a bottle of Burgundy wine
C Am
My love she did not know
C Am
So I poisoned that dear little girl
C G C
On the banks below
[Verse 2]
C Am
I drew a sabre through her
C Am
It was a bloody night
C Am
I threw her in that river
C G C
Which was a dreadful sight
Am C Am
My father oft had told me
C Am
That money would set me free
C Am
If I would murder that dear little girl
C G C
Whose name was Rose Connolly
[Verse 3]
C Am
My father sits at his cabin door
C Am
Wiping his tear dimmed eyes
C Am
For his only son soon shall walk
C G C
To yonder scaffold high
Am C Am
My race is run beneath the sun
C Am
The scaffold now waits for me
C Am
For I did murder that dear little girl
C G Am
Whose name was Rose Connolly
