Down In A Willow Garden (Traditional Ver

<br>Down in a willow garden<br>Where me and my love did meet,<br>`Twas there we sat a courting<br>My love dropped off to sleep.<br><br><br>I had a bottle of the Burglar`s wine<br>Which my true love did not know,<br>And so I poisoned that dear little girl<br>Down under the bank below.<br><br><br>I stobbed her with a dagger,<br>Which was a bloody knife,<br>I threw her in the river,<br>Which was a dreadful sight.<br><br><br>My father often told me<br>That money would set me free,<br>If I would murder that dear little girl<br>Whose name was Rose Connelly.<br><br><br>And now he sits in his own cottage door,<br>a wiping his weeping eye,<br>And now he waits for his own dear son,<br>Upon the scaffold high.<br><br><br>My race is run beneath the sun,<br>Lo, hell`s now waiting for me,<br>For I have murdered that dear little girl<br>Whose name was Rose Connelly.
