Barbara Allen - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)[00:00:00]
In Scarlet Town where I was born[00:00:05]
There was a fair maid dwellin'[00:00:09]
Made every youth cry well a day[00:00:13]
And Her name was Barbery Allen[00:00:17]
It was in the merry merry month of May[00:00:21]
When the green buds they were swellin'[00:00:26]
Sweet William on his death bed lay[00:00:31]
For the love of Barbery Allen[00:00:34]
He sent his servant to the town[00:00:38]
To the place where she was a-dwellin'[00:00:43]
Cried Master bids you come to him[00:00:47]
If your name be Barbery Allen[00:00:51]
Then slowly slowly she got up[00:00:55]
And slowly went she nigh him[00:01:01]
And when she pulled the curtains back[00:01:04]
Said Young man I think you're dyin'[00:01:08]
Oh yes I'm sick I'm very very sick[00:01:12]
And I never will be better[00:01:16]
Until I have the love of one[00:01:20]
The love of Barbery Allen[00:01:24]
Oh can you not in yonder town[00:01:28]
In the place where you were a-dwellin'[00:01:32]
You gave a toast to the ladies all[00:01:36]
But you slighted Barbery Allen[00:01:40]
Oh yes I can I can it well[00:01:44]
In the place where I was a-dwellin'[00:01:48]
I give a toast to the ladies all[00:01:51]
But my love to Barbery Allen[00:01:55]
Then lightly tripped she down the stairs[00:02:00]
He trembled like an aspen[00:02:04]
Tis vain tis vain my dear young man[00:02:08]
To hone for Barbery Allen[00:02:13]
She walked out in the green green fields[00:02:17]
She heard his death bells knellin'[00:02:23]
And every stroke they seemed to say[00:02:28]
Hard hearted Barbery Allen[00:02:32]
Her eyes looked east her eyes looked west[00:02:36]
She saw his pale corpse comin'[00:02:40]
She cried Bearers bearers put him down[00:02:44]
That I may look upon him[00:02:50]
The more she looked the more she grieved[00:02:54]
Until she burst out cryin'[00:03:00]
She cried Bearers bearers take him off[00:03:04]
For I am now a-dyin'[00:03:10]
Oh father oh father go dig my grave[00:03:13]
Go dig it deep and narrow[00:03:19]
Sweet William died for me today[00:03:24]
I'll die for him tomorrow[00:03:29]
They buried her in the old churchyard[00:03:33]
Sweet William's grave was nigh her[00:03:38]
And from his heart grew a red red rose[00:03:44]
And from her heart a brier[00:03:48]
They grew and they grew over the old church wall[00:03:53]
Till they couldn't grow no higher[00:03:59]
Until they tied a true lover's knot[00:04:05]
The red rose and the brier[00:04:10]
