C                     Am
Down in the willow garden,
  C                      Am
where me and my love did meet
   C            Am
As we sat a-courtin',
   C         G      C
my love fell off to sleep

  Am              C        Am
I had a bottle of burgundy wine,
   C                Am
my love she did not know
   C                           Am
So I poisoned that dear little girl,
C         G       C
along the banks below

  Am                   C
I drew a sabre through her,
   C            Am
it was a bloody knife
  C                Am
I threw her in the river,
      C     G        C
which was a dreadful sight

   Am           C    Am
My father often told me,
     C                  Am
that money would set me free
   C                               Am
If I would murder that dear little girl,
      C        G          C
whose name was Rose Connolly

   Am                 C     Am
My father sits at his cabin door,
C                      Am
wiping his tear-dimmed eyes
        C                   Am      
For his only son soon shall walk,
   C      G        C
to yonder scaffold high

   Am              C        Am
My race is run, beneath the sun,
    C                      Am
the scaffold now waits for me
    C                             Am
For I did murder that dear little girl,
      C        G          C
whose name was Rose Connelly
