Lyrics

Down in the willow garden
my love and I would meet.
There we sat a-courting.
Young love fell off to sleep.

I had a bottle of Burgundy wine.
Young love did not know.
And I poisoned that dear, little girl
name of Rose Connolly

I drew my saber through her.
It was a bloody knife.
I threw her in the river.
It was a dreadful sight.

My father always told me
money would set you free.
If you just murder that dear, little girl
name of Rose Connelly.

Oh, Rose, my love!

How he sits on his cabin door
wiping his tear-brimmed eyes.
As he sees his only son
yonder scaffold high.

My race is run. My time has come.
The devil is coming for me.
'Cause I murdered that dear, little girl
name of Rose Connelly.

Oh, Rose, my love!

Down in the willow garden...
