[Intro] Em G C G Em Down in the willow garden, G Em where me and my love did meet G C G Em As we sat a-courtin', G D G my love fell off to sleep Em D G Em I had a bottle of burgundy wine, G Em my love she did not know G C G Em So I poisoned that dear little girl, G D G along the banks below G C G Em I drew a sabre through her, G Em it was a bloody knife G C G Em I threw her in the river, G D G which was a dreadful sight Em D G Em My father often told me, G Em that money would set me free G C G Em If I would murder that dear little girl, G D G whose name was Rose Connolly Em D G Em My father sits at his cabin door, G Em wiping his tear-dimmed eyes G C G Em For his only son soon shall walk, G D G to yonder scaffold high Em D G Em My race is run, beneath the sun, G Em the scaffold now waits for me G C G Em For I did murder that dear little girl, G D Em whose name was Rose Connelly
