[00:02.500]'T was in the merry month of May
[00:08.000]When green buds were a-swellin'
[00:14.000]Sweet William on his death bed lay
[00:20.000]For the love of Barbriallen
[00:25.000]
[00:28.500]He sent his servant to the town
[00:34.000]The place where she live dwellin'
[00:40.000]Say, "Master dear has sent me here
[00:46.000]If your name be Barbriallen?"
[00:51.000]
[00:53.500]And slowly slowly she got up
[00:58.500]And slowly she went to him
[01:05.000]And all she said when she got there
[01:10.000]"Young man I think you're dying"
[01:16.000]
[01:23.500]O don't you remember the other day
[01:29.000]When we were in a tavern
[01:35.000]You drank your health to the ladies there
[01:40.500]And  you slighted Barbriallen
[01:46.500]
[01:48.000]He turned his face onto the wall
[01:54.000]He turned his back upon her
[01:59.500]"Adieu, adieu to all my friends
[02:05.500]Be kind to Barbriallen."
[02:11.000]
[02:14.000]She looked to the east, she looked to the west
[02:19.500]She saw his corpse a-comin'
[02:25.500]"O put him down for me," she cried
[02:31.000]"That I may gaze upon him."
[02:36.500]
[02:38.000]The more she looked the more she grieved
[02:44.000]She bursted it out in cryin'
[02:50.000]"O pick me up and carry me home
[02:55.500]For I feel like I am dyin'."
[03:01.000]
[03:08.000]They buried Sweet Willy in the old church yard
[03:13.500]And Barbara in the new one
[03:19.500]From Willy's grave there grew a rose
[03:25.500]From Barbara's a green briar
[03:31.500]
[03:34.000]They grew and grew on the old church wall
[03:40.000]And could not grow no higher
[03:45.500]And there they tied in a true love's knot
[03:52.000]-The rose bush and the briar
