Текст песни The Convict And The Rose

Within my prison cell so dreary I sit alone with achin' heart I'm dreamin' of my little darlin' From her forever, I must part The rose she sent me as a token She sent it just to lighten my gloom And tell me that her heart was broken And cheer me before I meet my doom The judge would not believe my story The jury said I had to pay And with the rose in all its glory "Not guilty" was all that I could say Goodbye, sweetheart, for in the morning To meet my Maker I must go And when I die at daylight's dawnin' Against my heart they'll find this rose Within my prison cell so dreary I sit alone with achin' heart I'm dreamin' of my little darlin' From her forever, I must part
