guitar chords lyrics
(C. Monroe)
Capo: First Fret
Album: Angel Clare (1975)
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.
