1. Down in the willow
garden where me and my love did meet,
G C G Em G D G
as we sat there a-courtin', my love fell off
to sleep.
Em D G Em G Em
I had a bottle of burgundy wine, my love she
did not know,
G C G Em G D G
so I murdered that
dear little girl on the banks below.

2. I drew a sabre
through her, it was a bloody sight,
G C GEm G D G
I threw her in the river, it was a dreadful
night.

My father often had told me, that money would
set me free,
G C G Em

if I would murder
that dear little girl, whose name was Rose Conally.

3. My father sits at
his cabin door, wiping his tear-dimmed eyes,
G C G Em G D G
for soon his only son shall walk to yonder
scaffold high.
Em D G Em G Em
My race is run beneath the sun, the scaffold
now waits for me,
G C G Em
G D G
for I did murder that
dear little girl whose name was Rose Conally.
