G C G Em
Down in the willow garden
G Em
Where me and my love did meet
G C G Em
As we sat a-courtin'
G D G
My love fell off to sleep
Em D G Em
I had a bottle of burgundy wine
G Em
My love she did not know
G C G Em
So i poisoned that dear little girl
G D G
Along the banks below
G C G Em
I drew a sabre through her
G Em
It was a bloody knife
G C G Em
I threw her in the river
G D G
Which was a dreadful sight
Em D G Em
My father often told me
G Em
That money would set me free
G C G Em
If i would murder that dear little girl
G D Em
Whose name was rose connelly
G C G Em
My father sits at his cabin door
G Em
Wiping his tear-dimmed eyes
G C G Em
For his only son soon shall walk
G D G
To yonder scaffold high
Em D G Em
My race is run, beneath the sun
G Em
The scaffold now waits for me
G C G Em
For i did murder that dear little girl
G D Em
Whose name was rose connelly
