My father always told me that money would set me free

If I'd murder that pretty little miss whose name is Rose Connoley.

He's sitting now in his own cottage door, a-wiping his weeping eyes,

A-looking at his own dear son upon the scaffold high.

My race is run beneath the sun, low hell is now waiting for me,

I did murder that pretty little miss whose name is Rose Connoley.

Check out Grayson and Whitter version.

Down in the willow garden, where me and my love did meet,

Oh, there we sit a-courting, my love dropped off to sleep.

I had a bottle of the burg(a)lar's wine, which my true love did not know,

And there I poisoned my own true love down under the banks below.

I drew my sabre through her, which was a bloody knife,

I threw her in the river, which was a dreadful sight.

That's some good stuff. Does anyone know the lyrics?
