[00:08.119]Oh, in the merry month of May
[00:13.178]The green buds they were a swelling
[00:18.272]Sweet William on his deathbed lay
[00:23.490]For the love of Barbara Allen
[00:28.213]
[00:28.962]He sent his servant to her door
[00:33.229]To the place where she was dwelling
[00:38.636]Oh miss, oh miss come quickly now
[00:43.804]If your name be Barbara Allen
[00:48.987]
[00:49.478]Slowly, slowly she got up,
[00:54.273]And slowly she came nigh him,
[00:59.407]She drew the curtain to one side
[01:04.511]She said "Young man, you're a dyin'."
[01:10.829]
[01:11.268]Yes, I am sick and very sick,
[01:15.998]And griefs is in me dwelling
[01:21.589]No better, no better I'll ever be
[01:26.731]if I don't get Barbara Allen
[01:32.406]
[01:33.220]Do you remember the other night
[01:38.372]When you were at the Tavern
[01:43.977]You drank a health to the ladies all
[01:49.204]But slighted Barbara Allen.
[01:54.496]
[01:54.570]Yes, I remember the other night
[01:59.096]When I was at the tavern
[02:04.690]I gave a health to the ladies all
[02:09.457]And my heart to Barbara Allen
[02:14.816]
[02:15.979]He turned his face toward the wall,
[02:21.384]For death was in him dwellin':
[02:26.720]"Goodbye, Goodbye, my dear friends all,
[02:31.778]Be kind to Barbara Allen!"
[02:36.800]
[02:38.439]As she was walking towards her home,
[02:42.957]She heard the death bell knellin';
[02:48.492]And every stroke it seemed to say
[02:53.456]"Cold hearted Barbara Allen.”
[02:58.356]
[02:59.756]"Oh mother, mother, make my bed,
[03:04.914]Make it long and narrow
[03:11.077]Sweet William died for me today,
[03:16.463]I'll die for him tomorrow.”
