Capo 1

G                             Em
Down in the willow garden
G                               Em
Where me and my love did meet,
G                            Em
As we set there a courtin',
G                  D        G
My love fell off to sleep.

Em                  G/F#     G
I had a bottle of burgundy wine,
G                            Em
My love she did not know.
G                            Em
So I poisoned that dear little girl
G          D          G
On the banks below.

G                            Em
I drew a saber through her,
G                          Em
It was a bloody knife,
G                          Em
I threw her in the river,
G                      D          G
Which was a dreadful sight.

Em                    G/F#    G
My father often had told me
G                               Em
That money would set me free
G                           Em
If I would murder that dear little girl
G                           D          G
Whose name was Rose Connelly.

G                         Em
My father sits at his cabin door,
G                         Em
Wiping his tear dimmed eyes,
G                          Em
For his only son soon shall walk
G                 D       G
To yonder scaffold high.

Em                   G/F#   G
My race is run beneath the sun,
G                            Em
The scaffold now waits for me,
G                           Em
For I did murder that dear little girl
G                           D          Em
Whose name was Rose Connelly.
