Within my prison cell so dreary
Alone I sit with weary heart
I'm thinking of my lonely darling
From her forever I must part.
(A rose she sent him as a token)
(She sent it just to light his gloom)
To tell me that her heart is broken
To cheer me fore I meet my doom.
She wrote I took it from the garden
Where once we wandered side by side
But now you hold no hope of pardon
And I can never be your bride.

(The judge would not believe his story)
(The jury said he had to pay)
Now to the rose and all it's glory
Not guilty is all that I can say.
Goodbye sweetheart for in the morning
I'll meet my Maker and repose
And when I'll go at daylight dawning
Against my heart they'll find your rose...
