[Chorus]
E
Poor Ellen Smith, how was she found?
A E F#7 B7
Shot through the heart, lyin' dead on the ground
E A E
Her body was mangled and all cast around
A E B E
An 'X' marks the spot where poor Ellen was found
[Verse]
E
They picked up her body, carried it away
A E F#7 B7
And now she's a-sleepin' in some lonesome old grave
E A E
Who had the heart and who had the brain
F#m A B E
To shoot my little Ellen on that cold lonesome plain?
[Chorus]

They picked up their rifles and hunted us down
A E F#7 B7
They found us a-loafing all 'round town
E A E
The judge may convict me and god knows he can
F#m A B E
But I know I died as an innocent man
[Chorus]

The warden has told me that soon I'll be free
A E F#7 B7
To go to her grave near that old willow tree
E A E
I'm free from the walls of that prison at last
F#m A B E
But I'll never be free from my sins from the past
[Chorus]

I say, 'X' marks the spot where poor Ellen was found
