Paroles de Convict and the rose

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
