Down In The Willow Garden

     A                F#m
Down in the willow garden
      A                       F#m
Where me and my true love did meet,
A                   F#m
It was there we were courtin',
   A         E      A
My love fell off to sleep.
  F#m             A        F#m
I had a bottle of burgundy wine,
   A                F#m
My true love she did not know.
A                                        F#m
It was there I murdered that dear little girl
A              E     A
Down on the banks below.

[Verse 2]

  A                    F#m
I drew my saber through her,
   A            F#m
It was a bloody knife,
  A                  F#m
I threw her into the river,
      A     E        A
It was an awful sight.



[Verse 3]

  F#m          A    F#m
My father often told me
    A                  F#m
That money would set me free
   A                               F#m
If I would murder that poor little girl
      A        E    A
Whose name was Rose Connelly.

[Verse 3]

   A                        F#m
Now he stands at his cabin door,
A                      F#m
Wiping his tears from his eyes,
   A                   F#m
Gazing on his own dear son,
  A      E        A
Upon the scaffold high.
  F#m             A        F#m
My race is run beneath the sun,
    A                   F#m
The devil is waiting for me,
    A                             F#m
For I did murder that dear little girl
      A        E         A
Whose name was Rose Connelly.
