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