The Convict and the Rose - Hank Snow
Within my prison so dreary
I alone my sit with achin heart
I'm dreamin of my little darlin
From her forever i must part
The rose she sent me as a token
She sent it just to lighten my gloom
And tell me that her heart was broken
To cheer me before i meet my doom
She wrote i picked 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
The judge would not believe my story
The jury said i had to pay
Now to the rose in all it's glory
Not guilty was all that i could say
Goodbye sweetheart for in the morning
I meet my maker i must go
And when i die at daylight's dawnin
Against my heart they'll find this rose
