Down in the willow garden


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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

William Smith Monroe, known as Bill Monroe (1911-1996), is considered the father of bluegrass. Born in Kentucky, Monroe began playing country music at a young age, influenced by his father's singing and the musical traditions of the region. In 1938, he formed his first group, the "Blue Grass Boys", which achieved success with songs like "Mule Skinner Blues" and "Kentucky Waltz". Monroe's innovative sound, characterized by a fast tempo, intricate harmonies, and instrumental virtuosity, revolutionized country music, giving birth to an entirely new genre: bluegrass. His influence has been profound and lasting, inspiring generations of country and folk musicians. Among his most important albums are "The Essential Bill Monroe" and "Blue Grass Special".
