| [00:04.55] |
In Charlotte town not far from here |
| [00:13.33] |
There was a fair maid dwellin' |
| [00:22.96] |
And her name was known both far and near |
| [00:32.03] |
And her name was Barbara Allen |
| [00:43.12] |
'Twas in the merry month of May |
| [00:50.73] |
Green buds they were swellin' |
| [00:56.73] |
Poor William on his death bed lay |
| [01:03.57] |
For the love of Barbara Allen |
| [01:17.09] |
He sent his man down to town |
| [01:23.75] |
To the place that she was dwellin' |
| [01:32.21] |
Sayin' Master Bids your company |
| [01:39.50] |
If your name is Barbara Allen |
| [01:55.76] |
Oh slowly slowly she got up |
| [02:02.55] |
To the place where he was lyin' |
| [02:09.97] |
And when she pulled the curtain back |
| [02:18.23] |
Said Young man I believe you're dying |
| [02:32.10] |
Oh yes oh yes I'm very sick |
| [02:39.26] |
And I shall never get better |
| [02:46.38] |
Unless I have the love of one |
| [02:55.01] |
The love of Barbara Allen |
| [03:07.31] |
Don't you remember not long ago |
| [03:14.45] |
The day down in the tavern |
| [03:21.65] |
You toasted all the ladies there |
| [03:29.09] |
But you slighted Barbara Allen |
| [03:37.83] |
Oh yes oh yes I remember well |
| [03:44.68] |
That day down in the tavern |
| [03:51.81] |
I toasted all the ladies there |
| [03:58.94] |
But I gave my heart to Barbara Allen |
| [04:11.94] |
She looked to the east she looked to the west |
| [04:19.77] |
She saw his pale corpse a comin' |
| [04:28.13] |
Cryin' |
| [04:29.44] |
Put him down and leave him there |
| [04:34.82] |
So I might gaze upon him |
| [04:44.36] |
The more she gazed the more she mourned |
| [04:51.49] |
Until she burst out cryin' |
| [04:58.10] |
Sayin' I beg you come and take him away |
| [05:05.15] |
For my heart now too is dyin' |
| [05:15.26] |
Oh father father come dig my grave |
| [05:23.23] |
Dig it wide an' narrow |
| [05:29.87] |
Poor William died for me today |
| [05:36.12] |
I'll die for him tomorrow |
| [05:47.74] |
They buried him in the old churchyard |
| [05:55.75] |
They buried her beside him |
| [06:04.03] |
And from his heart grew a red red rose |
| [06:10.57] |
And from her heart a briar |
| [06:21.02] |
They grew they grew so awful high |
| [06:27.93] |
Till they could grow no higher |
| [06:35.28] |
An' 'twas there they tied a lover's knot |
| [06:42.26] |
The red rose and the briar |
| [07:05.13] |
In Charlotte town not far from here |
| [07:13.19] |
There was a maid a dwellin' |
| [07:22.80] |
Had a name was known both far and near |
| [07:32.01] |
An' her name was Barbara Allen |
| [07:45.54] |
