down in a willow garden - nick cave and the bad seeds lyrics
down in a willow garden
where me and my love did meet,
’twas there we sat a courting
my love dropped off to sleep.
i had a bottle of the burglar’s wine
which my true love did not know,
and so i poisoned that dear little girl
down under the bank below.
i stobbed her with a dagger,
which was a bl–dy knife,
i threw her in the river,
which was a dreadful sight.
my father often told me
that money would set me free,
if i would murder that dear little girl
whose name was rose connelly.
and now he sits in his own cottage door,
a wiping his weeping eye,
and now he waits for his own dear son,
upon the scaffold high.
my race is run beneath the sun,
lo, h-ll’s now waiting for me,
for i have murdered that dear little girl
whose name was rose connelly.
from folk song usa, lomax
note: tune is variant on rosin the beau
