Down In The Willow Garden
Old Irish Classic also known as Rose Connelly (or Rose Connolly)
Recorded by Charlie Monroe, the Osborne Brothers, Art Garfunkel, Bon Iver, Moriarty and many others
As played by the great Tim O'Brien (on the Irish Bouzouki)
Down Gin the willow gaEmrden
Where mGe and my love did Emmeet
And therGe we sat a courCting
My loveG fell ofDf to sGleep
I hCad a bottle of Gburgundy wEmine
My loveG she did notEm know
And Gthere I poisoned that dear littleC girl
DownG by the Dbanks belGow
I drew my saber through Emher
It wGas a bloody kEmnife
I Gthrew her in the rCiver
It wGas a dreaDdful siGght
My fCather ofteGn toldEm me
That mGoney would set me Emfree
If I did mGurder that dear little gCirl
Whose Gname was DRose ConneGlly
Now he sits in his own Emcabin door
A-Gwiping his tear-brimmed Emeye
GWeeping for his only sCon
On Gyonder scafDfold hiGgh
My Emrace is run beGneath the Emsun
The Gdevil is waiting for Emme
For GI murdered that dear little Cgirl
Whose Gname was RDose ConneGlly
