Down In The Willow Garden

Down in the willow garden
 Where me and my love did meet
 There we sat a courtin'
 My love dropped off to sleep
 I'd drunk a bottle of burgundy wine
 My love she did not know
 And there I poisoned that dear little girl
 Under the flank below
 I stabbed her with my dagger
 An ugly bloody knife
 I threw her into the river
 An ugly bloody sight
 My father up and told me
 That money would set me free
 If I would murder that dear little girl
 Whose name was Rose Connelly
 And now he sits by the window
 Wiping his tear-dimmed eyes
 And now he waits for his own dear son
 Upon the scaffold high
 My race is run, beneath the sun
 Hell is waiting for me
 For I did murder that dear little girl
 Whose name was Rose Connelly
