[E] [A]
Within my prison [E] cell so dreary, alone I sit with [A] aching heart.
I'm thinking of my lonely [E] darling, from her forever [A] I must part.
A rose she sent me [E] as a token, she sent it just [A] to light my gloom.
To tell me that her [E] heart is broken, to cheer me for I [A] meet my doom.
She wrote, I took it [E] from the garden, where once we wandered [A] side by side.
But now you hold no [E] hope of pardon, and I can never [A] be your bride.

[A]
The judge would not believe [E] my story, the jury said I had [A] to pay.
But to the rose in [E] all its glory, not guilt is all that I [A] can say.
Goodbye sweetheart, for in [E] the morning, I'll meet my maker in [A] repose.
And when I go at [E] daylight's dawning, against my heart they'll [Am] find this rose.
