Down in the willow garden

A   F#m  A  F#m
Where me and my true love did meet,

A   F#m  A  F#m
It was there we were courtin',
A        E     A
My love fell off to sleep.

A   F#m  A  F#m
I had a bottle of burgundy wine,

A   F#m  A  F#m
My true love she did not know.

A   F#m  A  F#m
It was there I murdered that dear little girl

A        E       A 
Down on the banks below.

A   F#m  A  F#m
I drew my saber through her,

A   F#m  A  F#m
It was a bloody knife,

A   F#m  A  F#m
I threw her into the river,

A      E     A   
It was an awful sight.

A   F#m  A  F#m
My father often told me

A   F#m  A  F#m
That money would set me free

A   F#m  A  F#m
If I would murder that poor little girl

A       E      A
Whose name was Rose Connelly.

A   F#m  A  F#m
Now he stands at his cabin door,

A   F#m  A  F#m
Wiping his tears from his eyes,

A   F#m  A  F#m
Gazing on his own dear son,

A       E     A  
Upon the scaffold high.

A   F#m  A  F#m
My race is run beneath the sun,

A   F#m  A  F#m
The devil is waiting for me,

A   F#m  A  F#m
For I did murder that dear little girl

A        E       A 
Whose name was Rose Connelly.
