歌词
Down in the willow garden
那座柳树公园
就是我和我的爱人相会之地
Where me and my love did meet
那天我们坐在庭院下
她昏昏入睡
As we sat a-courtin'
我饮下醉人的酒
但是她并无知觉
My love fell off to sleep
然后我就为她灌下毒药
在下方的河堆旁
I had a bottle of Burgundy wine
我用利刃刺穿了她的胸膛
那把血淋淋的刀刃
My love, she did not know
她被遗弃到河中
死神带走了她的生命
So I poisoned that dear little girl
父亲常常告诫我
总有一天会还你自由
On the banks below
若真是我谋杀了那个女孩
那个名叫罗斯·康奈利的女孩
I drew a saber through her
父亲伏坐在他的小屋旁
泪花朦胧了他的双眼
It was a bloody knife
因为他唯一的儿子即将远行
逃避那十字的审判
I threw her in the river
我的生命就是流亡
束缚的枷锁让我无法喘息
Which was a dreadful sign
因为是我害死了那个女孩
她的名字叫罗斯·康奈利
My father often told me
That money would set me free
If I would murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly
My father sits at his cabin door
Wiping his tear-dimmed eyes
For his only son soon shall walk
To yonder scaffold high
My race is run, beneath the sun
The scaffold now waits for me
For I did murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly
