Chorus:
Poor Ellen Smith. How was she found? Shot
through the heart lyin' dead on the ground.
Her body was mangled and all cast around and X marks
the spot where poor Ellen was found.
They picked up her body, carried it away and now she's
a-sleepin' in some lonesome old grave.
Who had the heart and who had the brain to shoot my
little Ellen on that cold lonesome plain?
(Chorus)
They picked up their rifles and
hunted us down. They found us a-loafin' all 'round town.
The judge may convict me and God knows
he can but I know I died as an innocent man.
(Chorus)
The warden has told me that
soon I'll be free to go to her grave near that old willow tree.
I'm free from the walls of that
prison at last but I'll never be free of my sins from the past.
(Chorus) | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
