sterling drake - down in the willow garden lyrics
[verse 1]
down in the willow garden
where me and my love did meet
that’s where i set a_courtin’
my love fell off to sleep
[verse 2]
i gave her a bottle of burgundy wine
which my true love did not know
and there i poisoned that dear little girl
down by the banks below
[verse 3]
i drew my sabre through her
it was a bl__dy night
i threw her into the river
it was an awful sight
[verse 4]
my father often told me, son
that money would set me free
if i did murder that dear little girl
whose name was rosе connelly
[instrumental bridge]
[verse 5]
and now he sits by his own cabin door
wipin’ his tear_dimmеd eyes
mourning for his only son
who’s on that scaffold high
[verse 6]
my race is run beneath the sun
and h_ll is waiting for me
for i did murder that dear little girl
whose name was rose connelly
[outro]
for i did murder that dear little girl
whose name was rose connelly
