Convict And The Rose Lyrics - Willie Nelson

Within my prison cell so dreary 

Alone I sit alone with aching heart 

I'm dreaming of my little darling 

From her forever I must part 

The rose she sent me as a token 

She sent it just to light my gloom 

And tell me that her heart is broken 

And cheer me before I meet my doom 

The judge would not believe my story 

The jury said I have to pay 

And with the rose in all its glory 

Not guilty's all that I could say 

Goodbye sweetheart for in the morning 

To meet my Maker I must go 

And when I die at daylight's dawning 

Against my heart they'll find this rose 

(guitar)
