[00:12.540]Was in the merry month of May
[00:19.260]When flowers were a-blooming
[00:25.900]Sweet Willie on his deathbed lay
[00:32.050]For the love of Barbara Allen
[00:38.950]He sent his servant to the town
[00:45.160]The town where she did dwell in
[00:51.550]Saying "Master dear has sent me here
[00:58.550]If your name is Barbara Allen"
[01:05.690]Then slowly, slowly she got up
[01:10.980]And slowly she went to him
[01:17.690]And all she said when she got there
[01:23.930]"Young man, I think you're dying"
[01:30.450]"Oh don't you remember the other day
[01:36.900]When we were in the tavern?
[01:43.110]You drank your health to the ladies there
[01:49.560]And slighted Barbara Allen"
[02:08.930]He turned his face unto the wall
[02:15.210]He turned his back upon her
[02:21.620]so long farewell to all my friends
[02:28.060]Be kind to Barbara Allen"
[02:35.000]She looked to the east, she looked to the west
[02:41.020]She saw his corpse a-coming
[02:47.290]"Oh sit him down for me" she cried
[02:53.650]"That I may gaze upon him"
[03:00.530]The more she looked the more she grieved
[03:06.430]She bursting out to crying
[03:12.870]Saying "Pick me up and carry me home
[03:19.250]For I feel like I am dying"
[03:38.480]They buried Willie in the old churchyard
[03:44.530]And Barbara in the new one
[03:50.910]From Willie's grave there grew a rose
[03:57.250]From Barbara's a green briar
[04:03.870]They grew and grew to the old church wall
[04:09.910]And could not grow no higher
[04:16.130]And there they died in a true love-knot
[04:22.440]The rosebush and the briar
