Poor Ellen Smith - Irene And Ellen Kossoy/Erik Darling[00:00:00]

Written by：RR/Traditional[00:00:06]

Poor Ellen Smith how was she found[00:00:12]

Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground[00:00:16]

Her body was mangled and all cast around[00:00:21]

And blood marks the spot where poor Ellen was found[00:00:25]

They picked up her body and carried it away[00:00:29]

And now she's a sleepin' in some lonesome ol' grave[00:00:33]

Who had the heart and who had the brain[00:00:47]

To shoot my little darling on this cold lonesome plain[00:00:51]

They picked up their rifles and hunted us down[00:00:56]

They found us a loafin' all around town[00:00:59]

The jury my convict me and God knows they can[00:01:04]

But I know I died as an innocent man[00:01:08]

I've been in this prison for seven long years[00:01:22]

Each night I see Ellen through my bitter tears[00:01:25]

I got a letter yesterday I read it today[00:01:30]

The flowers on her grave have all faded away[00:01:34]

The warden has told me that soon I'll be free[00:01:39]

To go to her grave 'neath that old holler tree[00:01:43]

I go to her grave and I say whean I go[00:01:56]

My pretty Ellen graves their and smile her through[00:02:00]

I'm free from the walls of this prison at last[00:02:05]

But I'll never be free of my sins of the past[00:02:09]

Poor Ellen Smith how was she found[00:02:14]

Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground[00:02:18]
