The Convict And The Rose - Elton Britt
Within my prison cellso dreary
Alone I sit with broken heart
I'm thinking of my lonely darling
From her forever I must part
A river she sent me as a token
She sent it just to light my gloom
To tell me that her heart is broken
To cheer me unto meet my doom
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
Goodbye sweetheart for in the morning
I'll meet my maker in repose
And when I go at daylight's dawning
Against my heart they'll find your rose
