Down In The Willow Garden Aka Rose Connelly chords by Traditional

[Verse 1]

C           F      C   Am        C                       Am
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 2]

C        F     C       Am      C            Am
I drew a sabre through her, it was a bloody knife
C           F     C   Am        C     G        C
I threw her in the river, which was a dreadful sight
  Am            C    Am       C                   Am
My father often told me, that money would set me free
C           F          C           Am          C                 Am
If I would murder that dear little girl, whose name was Rose Connelly

[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
