Convict And The Rose lyrics
Song information
Artist: Hank Snow Album: When Tragedy Struck
Lyrics
Within my prison cell so dreary alone I sit with weary heart I'm thinking of my lonely darling from her forever I must part
(A rose she sent him as a token she sent it just to light his gloom) To tell me that her heart is broken to cheer me fore 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 [ vibes - guitar ] (The judge would not believe his story the jury said he had to pay) Now to the rose and 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'll go at daylight dawning against my heart they'll find your rose
