Down In The Willow Garden Lyrics

[00:00.33] Down in the willow garden
[00:08.12] Where me and my true love did meet,
[00:15.04] It was there we were courtin',
[00:22.80] My love fell off to sleep.
[00:29.98] I had a bottle of burgundy wine,
[00:38.07] My true love she did not know.
[00:45.12] It was there I murdered that dear little girl
[00:52.63] Down on the banks below.
[00:58.98]
[01:13.92] I drew my saber through her,
[01:21.52] It was a bloody knife,
[01:28.39] I threw her into the river,
[01:35.91] It was an awful sight.
[01:42.73] My father often told me
[01:50.47] That money would set me free
[01:57.55] If I would murder that poor little girl
[02:04.62] Whose name was Rose Connelly.
[02:43.12] Now he stands at his cabin door,
[02:51.28] Wiping his tears from his eyes,
[02:57.69] Gazing on his own dear son,
[03:04.30] Upon the scaffold high.
[03:10.93] My race is run beneath the sun,
[03:18.36] The devil is waiting for me,
[03:24.86] For I did murder that dear little girl
[03:32.39] Whose name was Rose Connelly.
[03:37.32]
