1
Within my prison cell so dreary
2
I sit alone with achin' heart
3
I'm dreamin' of my little darlin'
4
From her forever, I must part
5
The rose she sent me as a token
6
She sent it just to lighten my gloom
7
And tell me that her heart was broken
8
And cheer me before I meet my doom
9
She wrote I picked it from the garden,
10
Where once we wandered side by side.
11
Now you hold no hope of pardon,
12
And I can never be your bride.
13
The judge would not believe my story
14
The jury said I had to pay
15
And with the rose in all its glory
16
"Not guilty" was all that I could say
17
Goodbye, sweetheart, for in the morning
18
To meet my Maker I must go
19
And when I die at daylight's dawnin'
20
Against my heart they'll find this rose
21
Within my prison cell so dreary
22
I sit alone with achin' heart
23
I'm dreamin' of my little darlin'
24
From her forever, I must part
