| [00:23.98] |
It was in the merry month of May |
| [00:28.44] |
When the green buds were swelling |
| [00:32.98] |
A young man on his death bed lay |
| [00:37.65] |
For the love of Barbara Allen |
| [00:48.90] |
He sent his servant to the town |
| [00:53.29] |
Sent him to her dwelling |
| [00:57.48] |
My master's sick and he sends for you |
| [01:01.86] |
If you are Barbara Allen |
| [01:13.50] |
Oh so slowly slowly she got up |
| [01:17.52] |
Slowly she would nigh him |
| [01:21.90] |
And all she said when she got there |
| [01:26.84] |
Was "My true love you're dying" |
| [01:42.41] |
He turned his face unto the wall |
| [01:47.40] |
Death was in him dwelling |
| [01:51.39] |
Adieu adieu to my sweet friends all |
| [01:56.22] |
Be kind to Barbara Allen |
| [02:07.25] |
As she walked down the road to home |
| [02:11.83] |
She saw his hearse a-comin' |
| [02:16.11] |
Oh, lay him down on the cold cold ground |
| [02:20.96] |
That I may gaze upon him |
| [02:37.30] |
Oh mother, mother make my bed |
| [02:41.62] |
Make it soft and narrow |
| [02:45.86] |
For my true love has died today |
| [02:51.80] |
I'll die for him tomorrow |
| [03:02.58] |
They buried her by the old church tower |
| [03:07.58] |
In there lay beside her |
| [03:11.75] |
And from her grave grew red red rose |
| [03:16.91] |
And from his grave grew brier |
| [03:28.96] |
They grew to the top of the old church tower |
| [03:33.99] |
Till they could grow no higher |
| [03:38.66] |
And there they tied in a true love's knot |
| [03:45.74] |
The red red rose and the brier |
