Down in the Willow Garden
The Chieftains Bon Iver Lyrics


Down in the willow garden
Where me and my true love did meet
It was there we were courtin'
My love fell off to sleep

I laid a bottle of burgundy wine
My true love she did not know
It was there I murdered that dear little girl
Down on the banks below
I drew my saber through her
It was a bloody knife
I threw her into the river
It was an awful sight
My father often told me
That money would set me free
If I would murder that poor little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly

Now he stands at his cabin door
Wiping his tears from his eyes
Gazing on his own dear son
Upon the scaffold high

My race is run beneath the sun
The devil is waiting for me
For I did murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly

Down in the willow garden
Where me and my true love did meet,
It was there we were courtin',
My love fell off to sleep.

I had a bottle of burgundy wine,
My true love she did not know.
It was there I murdered that dear little girl
Down on the banks below.

I drew my saber through her,
It was a bloody knife,
I threw her into the river,
It was an awful sight.

My father often told me
That money would set me free
If I would murder that poor little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly.

Now he stands at his cabin door,
Wiping his tears from his eyes,
Gazing on his own dear son,
Upon the scaffold high.

My race is run beneath the sun,
The devil is waiting for me,
For I did murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Rose Connelly.

@SpikeBlighty

The music director for the Fargo season is outstanding. They seem at the top of their game. This tune was a perfect fit for the closing song. Sublime TV. Love the comments here too. Jaime's quote gave me the chills.

@joeboonmusic4004

The guy that wrote the score is a god too :D

@SamritpalSingh

Replied my tweet saying he'll be doing the soundtrack for Season 3 as well, and he himself can't wait for the release. One more week to go!

@SpikeBlighty

Excellent News.

@bill291212

SpikeBlighty Fits because the Coen Brothers second film "Raising Arizona" featured a character singing this song to a baby. Carter Burwell referenced it in the soundtrack.
