Down In The Willow Garden (G)





     G                Em
Down in the Willow Garden
                G        Em
Where me and my love did meet
G                  Em
There we sat a courting
G               D      G
My love dropped off to sleep
  C               G        Em
I had a bottle of burgundy wine
         G                 Em
Which my true love did not know
G                                 Em
There I murdered that dear little girl
     G      D     G
Down on the banks below

I drew my saber through her
Which was a bloody knife
I threw her in the river
Which was a dreadful sight
My father often told me
That money would set me free
If I'd murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly

Now he sits in his cabin door
Wiping his tear dimmed dyes
He's mourning for his own son
Upon the scaffold high
My race is run beneath the sun
The devil is waiting for me
For I did murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly
