Oh Dear I'm So Sad And Heart Broken Waiting In My Prison Cell

To Be Trialed For The Death Of Sweet Blossom My Baby That I Love So Well

Last Night As I Drank In The Barroom Through The Front Door My Little Girl Came

I Watched As She Slowly Approached Me And Trembled As She Spoke My Name

My Mind Was Wounded From Drinking As I Looked On Her Face Sweet And Fair

I Thought That A Demon Approached Me For I Strucked Her Down With My Chair

In A Flash With My Reason Returning In Pride I Looked Down At My Feet

And Saw Not The Foam Of A Demon But My Little Blossom So Sweet

I Gathered Her Close To My Bossom Her Laugh Was Fast Fading Away

Dear God I Have Murdered My Baby And Now With My Life I Must Pay

I'm Thinking Tonight Of That June Day I Walked Down Isle With My Bride

When I Promised To Love And Protect Her She Then Was My Joy And My Pride

But Soon I Had Started To Drinking And Now I Drop Dead To Our Home

Oh Why Must The Innocence Suffer And Then Reap Just What They Have Sown

I Pray To My Maker In Glory For This Deed I Might Be Forgiven

And I Hope That The Circle I Broken Will Soon Be Mattered In Heaven
