Lyrics

[00:00.92] Down in the willow garden
[00:08.18] Where me and my true love did meet,
[00:14.92] It was there we were courtin',
[00:22.88] My love fell off to sleep.
[00:30.34] I had a bottle of burgundy wine,
[00:37.91] My true love she did not know.
[00:44.90] It was there I murdered that dear little girl
[00:52.85] Down on the banks below.
[01:00.28]
[01:14.32] I drew my saber through her,
[01:21.52] It was a bloody knife,
[01:28.67] I threw her into the river,
[01:36.70] It was a horrible sight.
[01:43.48] My father often had told me
[01:50.98] That money would set me free
[01:57.95] If I would murder that poor little girl
[02:04.82] Whose name was Rose Connelly.
[02:13.63]
[02:43.20] Now he stands at his cabin door,
[02:51.38] Wiping his tears from his eyes,
[02:57.96] Gazing on his own dear son,
[03:04.78] Upon the scaffold high.
[03:11.57] My race is run beneath the sun,
[03:18.96] The Devil is waiting for me,
[03:24.94] For I did murder that dear little girl
[03:33.19] Whose name was Rose Connelly.
[03:39.60]
