[00:00:06] Within my prison cell so dreary

[00:00:13] Alone I sit with aching heart

[00:00:19] I'm thinking of my lonely darling

[00:00:25] From her forever I must part

[00:00:32] A rose she sent me as a token

[00:00:38] She sent it just to light my gloom

[00:00:44] To tell me that her heart is broken

[00:00:50] To cheer me fore I meet my doom

[00:00:56] She wrote I took it from the garden

[00:01:02] Where once we wandered side by side

[00:01:09] But now you hold no hope of pardon

[00:01:15] And I can never be your bride

[00:01:33] The judge would not believe my story

[00:01:40] The jury said I had to pay

[00:01:46] But to the rose in all its glory

[00:01:52] Not guilty's all that I can say

[00:01:58] Goodbye sweetheart for in the morning

[00:02:04] I'll meet my maker in repose

[00:02:10] And when I'll go at daylight's dawning

[00:02:16] Against my heart they'll find this rose
