Come All You Kind People, My Story To Hear

What Happened To Me In June Of This Year

It Was Poor Ellen Smith

And How She Was Found With A Ball In Her Heart

Lying Cold On The Ground

If I Could Go Home, Home To Stay

On Poor Ellen's Grave, Some Flowers I Would Lay

It Was Poor Ellen Smith

And How She Was Found With A Ball In Her Heart

Lying Cold On The Ground

I Come Back This Winter, My Trial To Stand

To Live Or To Die As The Law May Command

It Was Poor Ellen Smith

And How She Was Found With A Ball In Her Heart

Lying Cold On The Ground

It's True I'm In Jail, I'm A Prisoner Now

But God Is Here With Me And Hears Ever Vow

It Was Poor Ellen Smith

And How She Was Found With A Ball In Her Heart

Lying Cold On The Ground
