Down in the Willow Garden (feat. Brandi Carlile)

Down in the willow garden Where me and my love did meet As we sat a courtin' My love fell off to sleep I had a bottle of Burgundy wine My love, she did not know So, I poisoned that dear little girl On the banks below I drew a saber through her It was a bloody knife I threw her in the river Which was a dreadful sign 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 Connolly
