Down In The Willow Garden 
Composer(s): Charlie Monroe
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers



Down in the willow garden
where me and my love did meet
As we set there a courting
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 sight
My father oft had told me
that money would set me free
If I would murder that dear little girl
whose name was Rose Connelly

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
