kossoy sisters - poor ellen smith lyrics

Loading...

poor ellen smith, how was she found?
shot through the heart, lying cold on the ground
her body was mangled and all cast around
and blood marks the spot where poor ellen was found
they picked up her body and carried it away
and now she is sleeping in some lonesome old grave

who had the heart and who had the brain
to shoot my little darlin’ on this cold, lonesome plain?
they picked up their rifles and hunted us down
they found us a+loafing all around town
the jury may convict me and god knows they can
but i’ll know i died as an innocent man

i’ve been in this prison for seven long years
each night i see ellen through my bittеr tears
i got a letter yеsterday, i read it today
the flowers on her grave have all faded away
the warden has told me that soon i’ll be free
to go to her grave ‘neath that old hollow tree

i’ll go to her grave and i’ll stay when i go
on pretty ellen’s grave fairest flowers i’ll grow
i’m free from the walls of that prison at last
but i’ll never be free of my sins of the past
poor ellen smith, how was she found?
shot through the heart, lying cold on the ground
