Down in the Willow Garden (Traditional) by Darren Sullivan published on 2020-04-18T03:35:18Z Video to song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpMupuy-MY4&feature=youtu.be "Down in the Willow Garden", also known as "Rose Connelly" is a traditional Appalachian murder ballad about a man facing the gallows for the murder of his lover: he gave her poisoned wine, stabbed her, and threw her in a river. It originated in the 19th century, probably in Ireland, before becoming established in the United States. The lyrics greatly vary among earlier versions, but professional recordings have stabilized the song in a cut-down form. First professionally recorded in 1927, it was made popular by Charlie Monroe's 1947 version, and it has been recorded dozens of times since then. Down in the willow garden where me and my love did meet There we sat a-courting my love fell off to sleep I had a bottle of burgundy wine which my true love did not know And there I poisoned that dear little girl down by the banks below I drew my saber through her which was a bloody knife I threw her in the river which was an awful sight My father often told me that money would set me free If I would murder that dear little miss whose name was Rose Connelly Now he sits by his old cabin door a wiping his tear-brimmed eyes Mourning for his only son out on the scaffold high My race is run beneath the sun the devil is waiting for me For I did murder that dear little girl whose name was Rose Connelly Genre Americana Comment by Couch King Presents beautiful rendition of this traditional, love the informative write up, gorgeous piano and strings, love the spacious mix, great vocals and sound! 2022-07-15T16:39:25Z Comment by Elements of Synergy Love This !!! 2021-11-03T23:34:20Z Comment by idematoa Beautiful song 😍 💐 🙏 🍀 🎶 🎧 2021-01-19T18:07:23Z Comment by X28 Project Beautiful 2021-01-12T21:17:55Z Comment by Shade Structure Darren, this is amazing! 2020-09-23T15:10:16Z Comment by Beats so wonderful, truly loved listening to this :):) 2020-08-11T18:35:03Z Comment by Janine Levinson oh my, what vocals. the piano playing is so feeling.. great 2020-08-02T00:06:54Z Comment by Dominique Briand wow... such a sublime poignant song, your voice is so sweet moving and delightful, also is the music and your delicate piano... magnificent song really! 2020-07-27T10:44:06Z Comment by JCS beautiful work!! 2020-06-21T01:06:43Z Comment by OrangeLight Good vocal! 2020-06-14T03:34:03Z Comment by Eugene Sergeev Мне кажется я понял откуда Пресли взял мелодию для своей само первой песни. 2020-06-04T06:52:50Z Comment by Eugene Sergeev Преступление и наказание.
