lyrics

Twas in the merry month of May
When all the flowers were a bloomin
Sweet William on his deathbed lay
For love of Barbara Allen

He sent his servant to the town
The place where she did dwell in
Saying master dear has sent me here
If your name be Barbara Allen

Well slowly slowly she got up
And slowly she went to him
And all she said, when there she came (was)
“Young man I think you’re dyin

Don’t you remember the other night
When we were in the tavern
You drank a toast to the ladies there
And slighted Barbara Allen

He turned his face unto the wall
He turned his back upon her”
Adieu adieu to all my friends
And be kind be kind to Barbara Allen

“As I was wandering o’er the field
I heard the death bell knellin
And every note did seem to sing
Hard-hearted Barbara Allen”

The more it tolled the more she grieved
She bursted out a cryin
“Oh pick me up and carry me home
I fear that I am dyin

Oh mother mother make my bed
And make it long and narrow
Sweet William died for me today
I’ll die for him tomorrow”

They buried me in the old churchyard
“They buried me in the new one”
And from my grave there grew a rose
“From mine a fine green briar”

They grew and grew in the old churchyard
Til they could grow no higher
And there they tied in a true lover’s knot
The red rose and the briar
