[00:05.00]Twas in the merry month of May
[00:12.84]When green buds all were swelling
[00:17.91]Sweet William on his death bed lay
[00:24.82]For love of Barbara Allen
[00:33.48]He sent his servant to the town
[00:39.84]To the place where she was dwelling
[00:44.96]Saying you must come to my master dear
[00:51.85]If your name be Barbara Allen
[01:00.73]So slowly, slowly she got up
[01:07.03]And slowly she drew nigh him
[01:12.36]And the only words to him did say
[01:19.44]Young man I think you're dying
[01:28.17]He turned his face unto the wall
[01:34.75]And death was in him welling
[01:39.79]Good-bye, good-bye, to my friends all
[01:46.76]Be good to Barbara Allen
[01:55.50]When he was dead and laid in grave
[02:02.09]She heard the death bells knelling
[02:07.10]And every stroke to her did say
[02:14.01]Hard hearted Barbara Allen
[02:23.00]Oh mother, oh mother, go dig my grave
[02:29.55]Make it both long and narrow
[02:34.53]Sweet William died of love for me
[02:41.60]And I will die of sorrow
[02:47.03]And father, oh father, go dig my grave
[02:53.88]Make it both long and narrow
[02:58.76]Sweet William died on yesterday
[03:05.90]And I will die tomorrow
[03:13.90]Barbara Allen was buried
[03:16.99]In the old churchyard
[03:20.48]Sweet William was buried beside her
[03:25.57]Out of sweet William's heart
[03:29.01]There grew a rose
[03:32.83]Out of Barbara Allen's a briar
[03:41.37]They grew and grew in the old churchyard
[03:48.11]Till they could grow no higher
[03:53.27]At the end they formed
[03:56.75]A true lover's knot
[04:00.96]And the rose grew round the briar
