GDown in the willow garden,
 where me and my love did Emmeet
 As Gwe sat a-courtin',
 my Emlove fell Doff to Gsleep
 I Emhad a bottle of burgundy wine,

my love she did not know

 So GI did poison that dear little Emgirl,
Galong the Dbanks Gbelow

I drew a sabre through her,

it 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 would murder that dear little girl,

whose name was Rose Connolly

My father sits at his cabin door,

wiping his tear-dimmed eyes

For his only son soon shall walk,

to yonder scaffold high

My race is run, beneath the sun,

the scaffold now waits for me

For I did murder that dear little girl,

whose name was Rose Connelly
