Intro: Repeat 4 G Em
GDGEm
Down in the willow garden,
GEm
Where me and my love did meet.
GDGEm
As we set there a' courtin',
GDG
My love fell off to sleep.
EmGEm
I had a bottle of burgundy wine,
GEm
My love she did not know.
GDGEm
And so I poisoned that dear little girl,
GDG
On the banks below.
DGEm
I drew a sabre through her,
GEm
It was a bloody knife.
GDGEm
I threw her in the river,
GDG
Which was a dreadful sight.
EmGEm
My father often had told me,
GEm
That money would set me free.
GDGEm
If I would murder that dear little girl,
GDG
Whose name was Rose Connelly.
DGEm
My father sits at his cabin door,
GEm
Wiping his tear-dimmed eyes.
GDGEm
For his only son soon shall walk,
GDG
To yonder scaffold high.
EmGEm
My race is run beneath the sun,
GEm
The scaffold now waits for me.
GDGEm
For I did murder that dear little girl,
GDEm
Whose name was Rose Connelly.
