It was in the merry month of May When green buds all were swelling Sweet William on his death-bed lay For the love of Barbara Allen
He sent his servant to the town To the place where she was dwelling The master sayin again he sends for you If your name be Barb'ry Allen
So slowly slowly she got up And slowly she came nigh him And all she said when she got there Young man, I believe you're dying
Oh yes, I'm old, I'm very old And death is on me dwelling No better, no better than I never be If I can have Barb'ry Allen
Oh yes, you're alone, you're very alone And death is on you dwelling No better, no better, you will never be For you can't get Barbry Allen
Oh don't you rememberin yonders town In yonders town a-drinking You passed your glass all around and around But not to Barb'ry Allen
Oh, yes, I remember in yonders town In yonders town a-drinking I drank my health to the ladies all around And slighted Barbr'y Allen
He turned his pale face to the wall And death was on him dwelling I do, I do, you go neighbors all I do sweet Barbr'y Allen
As she was glim across the fields The glance of bells were knelling And every tone the death bell ring Hard hearted Barbr'y Ellen
O mother, O mother, make my bed Go make it both long an' narrow Sweet Willie died for me today And I'll die for him tomorrow
O he was buried in the old churchyard And she was buried, anigh him And out of this pearl grew a red, red rose A out of pearl's a brier
O they grew, and they grew up the old church tower 'Til they could grow no higher They let them tied in a true loves knot Red rose wrapped around the brier
