Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Down in the willow garden
Where me and my love did meet
As we set there a courtin'
My love fell off to sleep

I had a bottle of burgundy wine
My love she did not know
So I poisoned that dear little girl
On the banks below

I drew a dagger through her
It was a bloody night
I threw her in the river
Which was a lovely sight

My father oft had told me
That gold would save me somehow

If I would murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose McDowall

My father sits at his cabin door
Wiping his tear dimmed eyes
For his only son soon shall walk
To yonder scaffold high

My race is run beneath the sun
The scaffold now waits for me
For I did murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose McDowall
Down in the willow garden   Where me and my love did meet   As we set there a courtin'   My love fell off to sleep      I had a bottle of burgundy wine   My love she did not know   So I poisoned that dear little girl   On the banks below      I drew a dagger through her   It was a bloody night   I threw her in the river   Which was a lovely sight      My father oft had told me   That gold would save me somehow      If I would murder that dear little girl   Whose name was Rose McDowall      My father sits at his cabin door   Wiping his tear dimmed eyes   For his only son soon shall walk   To yonder scaffold high      My race is run beneath the sun   The scaffold now waits for me   For I did murder that dear little girl   Whose name was Rose McDowall
