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

[00:00:00] Written by：RR/Traditional

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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