Paragraph Lyric
Down in the willow garden
There me and my love did meet
While we set a-courtin'
My love fell off to sleep

I'd bought a bottle of burgundy wine
But my true love did not know
I planned to poison that dear little girl
There on the banks below

I drew a saber through her
It was an awful sight
I threw her in the river
And then ran off in fright

My father he had told me
His money would set me free
If I would poison that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly

My father weeps at his cabin door
Wipin his tear dimmed eyes
For soon his only son shall hang
From yonder scaffold high

My race is run beneath the sun
My sentence is waiting for me
For I did poison that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly
Down in the willow garden   There me and my love did meet   While we set a-courtin'   My love fell off to sleep      I'd bought a bottle of burgundy wine   But my true love did not know   I planned to poison that dear little girl   There on the banks below      I drew a saber through her   It was an awful sight   I threw her in the river   And then ran off in fright      My father he had told me   His money would set me free   If I would poison that dear little girl   Whose name was Rose Connelly      My father weeps at his cabin door   Wipin his tear dimmed eyes   For soon his only son shall hang   From yonder scaffold high      My race is run beneath the sun   My sentence is waiting for me   For I did poison that dear little girl   Whose name was Rose Connelly
