Down In The Willow Garden Lyrics - Songs Our Daddy Taught Us - Everly Brothers

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 sabre 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 Connelly
