Within my prison cell so dreary
Alone I sit with weary heart 
Thinkin' of my lonely darlin' 
From her forever, I must part 

A rose she sent me as a token 
She sent it just to light'n my gloom 
To tell me that her heart was broken 
To cheer me before I meet my doom

She wrote I took it from the garden
Where once we wandered side by side 
But now you hold no hope of pardon
And I can never be your bride 

The judge would not believe my story 
The jury said I had to pay 
But to the rose in all its glory 
"Not guilty" is all that I can say 

Goodbye, sweetheart, for in the morning 
I'll meet my Maker and repose 
And when I die at daylight's dawnin' 
Against my heart they'll find your rose
