Verse 1
D
A
D
Poor Ellen Smith,
how was she found?
G
D
Shot through the heart,
A
D
lying cold on the ground.
Her body was mangled and
all passed around,
and blood marks the spot
A
D
where poor Ellen was found.
They picked up her body
and carried it away
And now she is sleeping
A
D
G
D
A
D
in some lonesome old grave
Who had the heart and who had the brain
G
D
To shoot my little darling
A
D
on this cold, lonesome plain?
They picked up their rifles
and hunted us down
G
D
A
D
They found us a loaf in all around town
The Jewie may convict me
and God knows they can
But I'll know I died as
A
D
G
an innocent man
D
A
D
I've been in this prison
for seven long years
G
D
Each night I see Ellen
A
D
through my bitter tears
I got a letter yesterday, I read it today
G
D
The flowers on her grave
that soon I'll be free
G
D
To go to her grave,
A
D
G
D
A
D
meet that old willow tree
I'll go to her grave, and I'll say when I go
On pretty Ellen's grave,
A
D
fairest flowers I'll throw
I'm free from the walls
of that prison at last
G
D
But I'll never be free
A
D
of my sins of the past
Poor Ellen Smith,
how was she found?
Shot through the heart,
A
D
lying cold on the ground
