Poor Ellen Smith - The Kossoy Sisters/Erik Darling/Traditional

Written by:RR/Traditional

Poor Ellen Smith how was she found

Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground

Her body was mangled and all cast around

And blood marks the spot where poor Ellen was found

They picked up her body and carried it away

And now she's a sleepin' in some lonesome ol' grave

Who had the heart and who had the brain

To shoot my little darling on this cold lonesome plain

They picked up their rifles and hunted us down

They found us a loafin' all around town

The jury my convict me and God knows they can

But I know I died as an innocent man

I've been in this prison for seven long years

Each night I see Ellen through my bitter tears

I got a letter yesterday I read it today

The flowers on her grave have all faded away

The warden has told me that soon I'll be free

To go to her grave 'neath that old holler tree

I go to her grave and I say whean I go

My pretty Ellen graves their and smile her through

I'm free from the walls of this prison at last

But I'll never be free of my sins of the past

Poor Ellen Smith how was she found

Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground
