[00:04.42] Barbara Allen-Judy Collins
[00:25.55] Twas in the merry month of May
[00:30.00] When green buds were swelling
[00:33.17] A young man on his death bed
[00:38.35] Lay for his lover Barbara Allen
[00:49.09] He sent his servant unto town
[00:53.77] Send it to her dwelling
[00:58.09] My master's sick and It's sent for you
[01:02.41] If your are Barbara Allen
[01:13.45] Oh, slowly, slowly got she up
[01:18.37] And slowly went she nigh him
[01:22.40] And all she said When she got there was
[01:27.47] My true love you're dying
[01:37.22] He turned his pale face onto the wall,
[01:42.80] And death was on him dwellin'.
[01:54.44] "Adieu, Adieu, to my sweet friends all,
[01:59.89] Be kind to Barbara Allen."
[02:04.07] AS She walked down the road upon
[02:13.77] She saw his corpse a-comin'.
[02:18.50] "Lay down, lay down the cold ground," she said,
[02:24.52] "And let me gaze upon him."
[02:37.44] Oh mother, mother make my bed,
[02:42.23] Oh make it soft and narrow,
[02:46.17] For my true love died today,
[02:51.50] I'll die for him tomorrow."
[03:03.00] They buried Barbara in the old church tower
[03:10.61] They buried Sweet William beside her
[03:14.09] From his grave grew a red, red rose
[03:30.59] They grew up the top of old church tower
[03:36.15] Till they could grow no higher
[03:39.04] And at the top twined a lover's knot
[03:48.20] The red rose and the briar
[04:26.69] Arranged by Kidlang
