Nelson, Willie - The Convict And The Rose Lyrics
Within my prison cell so dreary
Alone I sit alone with aching heart
I'm dreaming of my little darling
From her forever I must part
She sent it just to light my gloom
And tell me that her heart is broken
And cheer me before I meet my doom
The judge would not believe my story
The jury said I have to pay
And with the rose in all its glory
Not guilty's all that I could say
Goodbye sweetheart for in the morning
And when I die at daylight's dawning
Against my heart they'll find this rose
[guitar]
Within my prison cell so dreary...

Nelson, Willie The Convict And The Rose Comments
My father actually wrote this song before WWII but never recorde it. It became public domain after many years, and Willie Nelson found it, loved it and recorded it. My father attended Willie's concert at Notre Dame IN years later, met Willie at his tour bus and was allowed to tell Willie about it. During the concert, Willie gave my father, Al Brown, a shout-out, and sang that song, dedicating it to him. Thank you Willie. It meant the world to my father.
I love this tune, one of the prettiest songs ever written. I like everybody's version, but have always been partial to Tommy Duncan & The Texas Playboys. But Willie obviously put his stamp on this. Definitely love Willie's version too.👍🤠
