Ian & Sylvia — Down by the Willow Garden

[Verse 1] Down by the willow garden My love and I did meet And there we sat a-courtin' My young love fell asleep I had a bottle of Burgundy wine My young love dear not know And there I poisoned that dear little girl Down by the banks below [Verse 2] I drew my saber through her Which was a bloody night I threw her into the river Which was a dreadful sight My father often told me That money would set me free If I should murder that dear little girl Whose name was Rose Connolly [Verse 3] My father sits in his cabin door Wipin' his tear-dimmed еyes He knows today that his only son Will walk to the scaffold high My racе is run beneath the sun The gallow now waits for me For I've murdered that dear little girl Whose name was Rose Connolly
