Twas in the merry month of May[00:00:05]
When green buds all were swelling[00:00:12]
Sweet William on his death bed lay[00:00:17]
For love of Barbara Allen[00:00:25]
He sent his servant to the town[00:00:33]
To the place where she was dwelling[00:00:40]
Saying you must come to my master dear[00:00:45]
If your name be Barbara Allen[00:00:52]
So slowly slowly she got up[00:01:01]
And slowly she drew nigh him[00:01:07]
And the only words to him did say[00:01:12]
Young man I think youapos re dying[00:01:20]
He turned his face unto the wall[00:01:28]
And death was in him welling[00:01:35]
Good-bye good-bye to my friends all[00:01:40]
Be good to Barbara Allen[00:01:47]
When he was dead and laid in grave[00:01:56]
She heard the death bells knelling[00:02:03]
And every stroke to her did say[00:02:08]
Hard hearted Barbara Allen[00:02:15]
Oh mother oh mother go dig my grave[00:02:24]
Make it both long and narrow[00:02:31]
Sweet William died of love for me[00:02:36]
And I will die of sorrow[00:02:43]
And father oh father go dig my grave[00:02:48]
Make it both long and narrow[00:02:55]
Sweet William died on yesterday[00:03:00]
And I will die tomorrow[00:03:07]
Barbara Allen was buried[00:03:15]
In the old churchyard[00:03:18]
Sweet William was buried beside her[00:03:22]
Out of sweet Williamapos s heart[00:03:27]
There grew a rose[00:03:31]
Out of Barbara Allenapos s a briar[00:03:34]
They grew and grew in the old churchyard[00:03:43]
Till they could grow no higher[00:03:50]
At the end they formed[00:03:55]
A true loverapos s knot[00:03:59]
And the rose grew round the briar[00:04:03]
