Down in the Willow Garden Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Down in th[G]e Willow garde[Em]n
Where [G]me and my love did [Em]meet
[G]As we sat [Em]a- courtin'
My [G]love fell [D]off to [G]sleep
I [Em]had a bottle of [G]Burgundy w[Em]ine
My [G]love she did not [Em]know
[G]So I poisoned that dear little [Em]girl
[G]On the [D]banks be[Em]low

[Verse 2]
I [G]drew a saber through [Em]her
It [G]was a [Em]bloody knife
I [G]threw her in [Em]the river
Which [G]was a [D]dreadful [G]sign
My [Em]father often [G]told [Em]me
That [G]money would set me [Em]free
If [G]I would murder that dear little g[Em]irl
Whose [G]name was [D]Rose Con[Em]nolly

[Verse 3]
My [G]father sits at his cabin [Em]door
[G]Wiping his tear- [Em]dimmed eyes
For [G]his only son soon shall [Em]walk
To [G]yonder [D]scaffold [G]high
[Em]My race is run, bene[G]ath the su[Em]n
The [G]scaffold now waits for [Em]me
For [G]I did m[Em]urder t[G]hat dear little girl[Em]
Whose [G]name was [D]Rose Con[Em]nolly
