Down in the willow garden,
      G                  Em
Where me and my love did meet.
G     D            G    Em
As we set there a' courtin',
   G         D      G
My love fell off to sleep.

I had a bottle of burgundy wine,
   G                Em
My love she did not know.
G        D             G           Em
And so I poisoned that dear little girl,
G      D       G
On the banks below.

         D     G       Em
I drew a sabre through her,
   G            Em
It was a bloody knife.
  G         D      G  Em
I threw her in the river,
      G     D        G
Which was a dreadful sight.

My father often had told me,
     G                  Em
That money would set me free.
   G       D           G           Em
If I would murder that dear little girl,
      G        D          G
Whose name was Rose Connelly.

          D           G     Em
My father sits at his cabin door,
G                      Em
Wiping his tear-dimmed eyes.
        G    D   G          Em
For his only son soon shall walk,
   G      D        G
To yonder scaffold high.

   Em            G         Em
My race is run beneath the sun,
    G                      Em
The scaffold now waits for me.
    G     D           G           Em
For I did murder that dear little girl,
      G        D          Em
Whose name was Rose Connelly.
