The Cruelty of Barbry Allen - Meg Baird[00:00:00]

It was in the Merry month of May[00:00:08]

When green buds all were swelling[00:00:16]

Sweet William on his death bed lay[00:00:21]

For the love of Barbara Allen[00:00:28]

He sent his servant to the town[00:00:39]

To the place where she was dwelling[00:00:45]

The master sayin again he sends for you[00:00:52]

If your name be Barb'ry Allen[00:00:57]

So slowly slowly she got up[00:01:14]

And slowly she came nigh him[00:01:21]

And all she said when she got there[00:01:27]

Young man I believe you're dying[00:01:33]

Oh yes I'm old I'm very old[00:01:50]

And death is on me dwelling[00:01:57]

Life to no better than I never be[00:02:03]

If I can have Barb'ry Allen[00:02:09]

Oh yes you're alone you're very alone[00:02:20]

And death is on you dwelling[00:02:26]

No better no better you will never be[00:02:32]

For you can't get Barbry Allen[00:02:38]

Oh don't you rememberin yonders town[00:02:49]

In yonders town a drinking[00:02:56]

You passed your glass all around and around[00:03:02]

But not to Barb'ry Allen[00:03:08]

Oh yes I remember in yonders town[00:03:19]

In yonders town a drinking[00:03:25]

I drank my health to the ladies all around[00:03:31]

And slighted Barbr'y Allen[00:03:37]

He turned his pale face to the wall[00:03:54]

And death was on him dwelling[00:04:00]

I do I do you go neighbors all[00:04:07]

I do sweet Barbr'y Allen[00:04:12]

As she was glim across the fields[00:04:29]

The glance of bells were knelling[00:04:36]

And every tone the death bell ring[00:04:42]

Hard hearted Barbr'y Ellen[00:04:47]

O mother o mother make my bed[00:04:58]

Go make it both long an' narrow[00:05:05]

Sweet Willie died for me today[00:05:10]

And I'll die for him tomorrow[00:05:17]

O he was buried in the old churchyard[00:05:28]

And she was buried anigh him[00:05:34]

And out of this pearl grew a red red rose[00:05:40]

A out of pearl's a brier[00:05:46]

O they grew and they grew up the old church tower[00:05:57]

'Til they could grow no higher[00:06:03]

They let them tied in a true loves knot[00:06:09]

Red rose wrapped around the brier[00:06:15]
