down in the willow garden chords
american folk ( performed by the everly brothers )

G C G Em
down in the willow garden ,
G Em
where me and my love did meet
G C G Em
as we sat A – courtin’ ,
G D G
my love fell off to sleep

Em D G Em
i had a bottle of burgundy wine ,
G Em
my love she did not know
G C G Em
so i poisoned that dear little girl ,
G D G
along the banks below

G C G Em
i drew a sabre through her ,
G Em
it was a bloody knife
G C G Em
i threw her in the river ,
G D G
which was a dreadful sight

Em D G Em
my father often told me ,
G Em
that money would set me free
C C G Em
if i would murder that dear little girl ,
G D G
whose name was rose connolly

Em C G Em
my father sits at his cabin door ,
G Em
wiping his tear – dimmed eyes
G C G Em
for his only son soon shall walk ,
G D G
to yonder scaffold high

Em D G Em
my race is run , beneath the sun ,
G Em
the scaffold now waits for me
G C G Em
for i did murder that dear little girl ,
G D G
whose name was rose connelly
