[00:02.211]
[00:05.272]It was round and about last Martinmas tide
[00:10.852]When the green leaves were swellin'
[00:17.197]That young Jimmy Grove of the West Country
[00:22.917]Fell in love with Barb'ry Allen
[00:27.960]
[00:28.950]He sent his men into the town
[00:34.366]To the place where she was dwellin'
[00:39.870]"Oh will you come to my master, dear,
[00:45.590]If your name be Barb'ry Allen?"
[00:50.962]
[00:54.122]And slowly, slowly got she up
[00:59.232]And slowly came she nigh him
[01:05.452]And all she said when there she came
[01:10.754]"Young man, I think you're dyin'"
[01:16.541]"Oh, yes, I'm sick, I'm very sick
[01:22.145]Indeed I think I'm dyin'
[01:27.845]But a word from you would revive me again
[01:33.348]Oh lovely Barb'ry Allen"
[01:38.415]
[01:41.182]"Do you recall, young man," she said,
[01:46.460]"When the red wine you were spillin',
[01:52.440]How you made the ladies' health go round
[01:57.649]And you slighted Barb'ry Allen?"
[02:02.778]
[02:03.766]And death is printed on his face
[02:08.800]And all his heart is stealin'
[02:14.573]And again he cried as she left his side
[02:19.802]"Hard-hearted Barb'ry Allen!"
[02:25.242]
[02:28.021]As she was goin' over the field
[02:33.070]She heard the death bells tollin'
[02:38.688]And every sound that death bell gave:
[02:44.191]"Hard-hearted Barb'ry Allen!"
[02:49.391]
[02:50.294]"Oh mother, mother make my bed
[02:55.384]Oh make it soft and narrow
[03:01.262]Since Jimmy died for me today
[03:06.580]I'll die for him tomorrow"
[03:12.921]
