[00:00.00]Poor Ellen Smith - Molly O'Day/The Cumberland Mountain Boys
[00:07.89]Poor Ellen Smith how was she found
[00:11.12]Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground
[00:14.21]
[00:22.83]Her body was mangled and all cast around
[00:25.70]
[00:26.27]A blood marks the spot where poor Ellen was found
[00:29.31]
[00:37.84]They picked up their rifles and hunted me down
[00:40.69]
[00:41.27]And found me loafing all around town
[00:44.34]
[00:52.87]They picked up the body and carried it away
[00:56.29]And now she is sleeping in some lonesome old grave
[00:59.24]
[01:07.94]I got a letter yesterday and I read it today
[01:11.38]The flowers on her grave have all faded away
[01:14.56]
[01:23.07]Some day I'll go home and say when I go
[01:26.44]On poor Ellen's grave pretty flowers I'll sow
[01:30.61]
[01:38.10]I've been in this prison for twenty long years
[01:41.59]Each night I see Ellen through my bitter tears
[01:44.74]
[01:53.27]The warden just told me that soon I'll be free
[01:56.78]To go to her grave near that old willow tree
[02:00.59]
[02:08.26]My days in this prison are ending at last
[02:11.76]I'll never be free from the sins of my past
[02:15.65]
[02:23.72]Poor Ellen Smith how she was found
[02:26.91]Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground
