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 saber 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 Connolly
