Convict And The Rose Lyrics

by Willie Nelson

Within my prison cell so dreary alone I sit alone with aching heart

I'm dreaming of my little darling from her forever I must part



The rose she sent me as a token she sent it just to light my gloom

And tell me that her heart is broken and cheer me before I meet my doom



The judge would not believe my story the jury said I have to pay

And with the rose in all its glory not guilty's all that I could say



Goodbye sweetheart for in the morning to meet my Maker I must go

And when I die at daylight's dawning against my heart they'll find this rose

[ guitar ]

Within my prison cell so dreary...
