Twas in the merry month of May |
| [00:30.00] |
When green buds were swelling |
| [00:33.17] |
A young man on his death bed |
| [00:38.35] |
Lay for his lover Barbara Allen |
| [00:49.09] |
He sent his servant unto town |
| [00:53.77] |
Send it to her dwelling |
| [00:58.09] |
My master's sick and It's sent for you |
| [01:02.41] |
If your are Barbara Allen |
| [01:13.45] |
Oh, slowly, slowly got she up |
| [01:18.37] |
And slowly went she nigh him |
| [01:22.40] |
And all she said When she got there was |
| [01:27.47] |
My true love you're dying |
| [01:37.22] |
He turned his pale face onto the wall, |
| [01:42.80] |
And death was on him dwellin'. |
| [01:54.44] |
"Adieu, Adieu, to my sweet friends all, |
| [01:59.89] |
Be kind to Barbara Allen." |
| [02:04.07] |
AS She walked down the road upon |
| [02:13.77] |
She saw his corpse a-comin'. |
| [02:18.50] |
"Lay down, lay down the cold ground," she said, |
| [02:24.52] |
"And let me gaze upon him." |
| [02:37.44] |
Oh mother, mother make my bed, |
| [02:42.23] |
Oh make it soft and narrow, |
| [02:46.17] |
For my true love died today, |
| [02:51.50] |
I'll die for him tomorrow." |
| [03:03.00] |
They buried Barbara in the old church tower |
| [03:10.61] |
They buried Sweet William beside her |
| [03:14.09] |
From his grave grew a red, red rose |
| [03:30.59] |
They grew up the top of old church tower |
| [03:36.15] |
Till they could grow no higher |
| [03:39.04] |
And at the top twined a lover's knot |
| [03:48.20] |
The red rose and the briar |
| [04:26.69] |
Arranged by Kidlang |
