I have heard the Bluegrass song "Down In the Willow Garden" for years. Apparently there is an Irish version called "Sally Garden". I have a sense that this is based on a true story, yet I can find no reference to the murder of Rose Connelly. I believe that this story is most likely from Ireland, I would really appreciate it if someone could bring me up to speed on the story behind this song.
