{title:Barbara Allen}
{st:Traditional}
`[C]Twas in the mer[G7]ry month of [C]May,
When green buds [F]all were swe[G7]llin`,
Sweet W[F]illiam on his d[C]eath bed l[Am]ay,
For the [C]love of Ba[G7]rbara Al[C]len.

He sent his servant to the town,
To the place where she was dwellin`,
Sayin`, You must come to my master dear,
If your name be Barb`ry Allen.

So, slowly, slowly she got up,
And slowly she drew nigh him,
And the only words to him did say,
Young man I think you`re dyin`.

He turned his face unto the wall,
And death was in him wellin`,
Goodbye, goodbye to my friends all,
Be good to Barb`ry Allen.

When he was dead and laid in grave,
She heard the death bells knellin`,
And every stroke to her did say:
Hard-hearted Barb`ry Allen.

Oh mother, oh mother, go dig my grave,
Make it both long and narrow,
Sweet William died of love for me,
And I will die of sorrow.

And father, oh father, go dig my grave,
Make it both long and narrow,
Sweet William died on yesterday,
And I will die tomorrow.

Barb`ry Allen was buried in the old church yard,
Sweet William was buried beside her;
Out of William`s heart, there grew a rose,
Out of Barb`ry Allen`s a briar.

They grew and grew in the old church yard,
`Til they could grow no higher;
At the end they formed a true lovers` knot,
And the rose grew `round the briar.
