In scarlet town where I was born[00:00:00]
There was a fair maid dwelling[00:00:05]
Made many a youth cry well a day[00:00:09]
Her name was Barbara Allen[00:00:14]
It was in the merry month of May[00:00:19]
When green buds they were swelling[00:00:23]
Sweet william came from the west country[00:00:28]
And he courted Barbara Allen[00:00:34]
He sent his servant unto her[00:00:39]
To the place where she was dwelling[00:00:44]
Said my master's sick bids me call for you[00:00:49]
If your name be Barbara Allen[00:00:55]
Well slowly slowly got she up[00:01:01]
And slowly went she nigh him[00:01:07]
But all she said as she passed his bed[00:01:12]
Young man I think you're dying[00:01:18]
Then lightly tripped she down the stairs[00:01:24]
She heard those church bells tolling[00:01:29]
And each bell seemed to say as it tolled[00:01:33]
Hard hearted Barbara Allen[00:01:39]
O mother mother go make my bed[00:01:45]
And make it long and narrow[00:01:49]
Sweet william died for me today[00:01:54]
I'll die for him tomorrow[00:02:00]
They buried Barbara in the old church yard[00:02:05]
They buried sweet william beside her[00:02:10]
Out of his grave grew a red red rose[00:02:14]
And out of hers a briar[00:02:20]
They grew and grew up the old church wall[00:02:26]
Till they could grow no higher[00:02:31]
And at the top twined a lover's knot[00:02:36]
The red rose and the briar[00:02:42]
