Convict And The Rose Lyrics

I Sit In My Prison Cell So Dreary
With A Sad And Aching Heart
Thinking Only Of My Darlin'
From Whom Forever I Must Part

A Rose She Sent Me As A Token
Said She Try And Forget Your Gloom
And To Tell Me That Her Heart Is Broken
Before I Go To Meet My Doom

The Rose She Took It From The Garden
Where Together We Once Walked Side By Side
And To Tell Me That I Hold No PardonBlundell Owen - Convict And The Rose - http://motolyrics.com/blundell-owen/convict-and-the-rose-lyrics.html
That She Could Never Be My Bride
Inst. Break:

The Judge Would Not Believe My Story
The Jury Said I'd Have To Pay
But To The Rose In All It's Glory
Not Guilty Is All That I Can Say

To-morrow As The Day Is Dawning
I'll Meet My Maker In Re-pose
But When They Find Me In The Morning
At My Heart They'll Find This Rose
