Traditional, arr. by Crooked Still Poor Ellen Smith, now where was she found? Shot through the heart, lying cold in the ground many hearts has she broken many lives she has ended, now all that has ended and you're dead in the snow / G C G - G D G - / / G - - - - - D G / G - C G G - D G / Poor Ellen, poor Ellen, you've wasted your life You could have made some man a very good wife Your friends tried to warn you, of your ending you was told Now all that has ended and you're dead in the snow So early this morning, poor Ellen was found Shot through the heart, lying cold in the ground The men, they will mourn you, their wives will be glad Such is the ending of a girl that is bad Perhaps you're in heaven, God only knows The bible, it tells us you've gone down the road Poor Ellen Smith, now where was she found? Shot through the heart, lying cold in the ground |
