Within my prison cell so dreary Alone I sit with weary heart Thinkin' of my lonely darlin' From her forever, I must part A rose she sent me as a token She sent it just to light'n my gloom To tell me that her heart was broken To cheer me before I meet my doom She wrote I took it from the garden Where once we wandered side by side But now you hold no hope of pardon And I can never be your bride The judge would not believe my story The jury said I had to pay But to the rose in all its glory "Not guilty" is all that I can say Goodbye, sweetheart, for in the morning I'll meet my Maker and repose And when I die at daylight's dawnin' Against my heart they'll find your rose
