Down in the willow garden, where me and my true love did meet
C   F   C  Am   C     G   C
As we sat a-courtin', my love fell off to sleep
 Am       C     Am  C          Am
I had a bottle of burglar’s* wine, my love she did not know
  C    F       C      Am   C    G    C
And there I poisoned that dear little girl, along the banks below

[Verse 3]

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