BARBARA ALLEN
In Scarlet town where I w.as born,
There lived a fair maid ·dwelling;
Hade every youth say 111·mll a11are. 11
Her name was Barb'ra Allen.
All in the merry month of .Hay,
Hhen green buds they were swelling,
SHeet vlilliam on his deathbed lay'
For love of Barb 1 ra Allen.
He sent his man unto her then,
To the town vlhere she was dwelling;
"You must come to my master dear
If your name be Barb'ra Allen. 11
Then slowly, slowly she came up,
And slowly she c~~e nigh him;
11 0h lovely maid, come pity me,
I'm on my deathbed lying.n
11
If on your deatl1bed you do lie,
What needs the tale you're telling?
I cannot keep you from your death,
FareHell, 11 said Barb'ra Allen.
Hard-hearted creature him to slight,
Hho loved me so sincerely;
Oh that I had been more kind to him,
Hhen he 1-.ras alive and near me.
On Monday morning she took sick,
Her heart was struck with sorrou;
Oh, mot:1er, mother, make my bed,
For I shall die tomorrow.
Farevmll, fare11ell, ye virgins all,
And shun the fault I fell in;
Henceforth take warning by the fall
Of cruel Barb 1 ra Allen.

Barbara Allen
In Scarlet town where I was born,
There lived a fair maid dwelling,
Made every youth say "well aware."
Her name was Barb'ra Allen.
All in the merry month of May,
When green buds they were swelling,
Sweet William on his deathbed lay,
For love of Barb'ra Allen.
He sent his man unto her then,
To the town where she was dwelling,
"You must come to my master dear
If your name be Barb'ra Allen."
Then slowly, slowly she came up,
And slowly she came nigh him,
"Oh lovely maid, come pity me,
I'm on my deathbed lying."
"If on your deathbed you do lie,
What needs the tale you're telling?
I cannot keep you from your death,
Farewell," said Barb'ra Allen.
Hard-hearted creature him to slight,
Who loved me so sincerely,
Oh that I had been more kind to him,
When he was alive and near me.
On Monday morning she took sick,
Her heart was struck with sorrow,
Oh, Mother, mother, make my bed,
For I shall die tomorrow.
Farewell, farewell, ye virgins all,
And shun the fault I fell in,
Henceforth take warning by the fall
Of cruel Barb'ra Allen.

\.
It \Vas in the nerry ::-10n tn of May,
Vhen the flowery buds were swelling,
Young '1il ie Gray on his death- bed lay
For the love of Barbara Allen.
He sent hie servant to the town
7o tell ner to come and see him;
And slowly,slowly she arose,
And slowl~ ~ent to see him.
And when she got there all she s id,
"Young ma11,I think you're dying,
And die,Oh die,Oh,die you may!
You can't get Barbara Allen."
I'm low,I'm low,I'm low,indeed,
And death is in me dwelling;
nut never bett~r ill I be,
If I can't get 3arbara Allen.
Uon't you renember the other day
When r~e were at the t vern drinking,
You drank a toast to the ladies all
hnd slighted Barbara Allen.
Yes I remember the othe day
When we wer e at the tavern drinking ,
I drank a toast to the ladies al
And three to B rbara Allen .
Do you re~ember the other night
When we werl at the ball-room dancing,
You gave your hand to the ladie!3 all
And · elighte d B rbara Allen.
Vee I remember the other night
When \Ve ere at the ball-room dancing,
I gave my hand to the ladies all
And my heart to Barbara Allen .
He turned his pale face to the wall,
He turn~d his b a ck upon her,
And eaid~Adieu,adieu to all,
Adieu to Barbara Allen".
She
Sbe
And
"W s
turned around an4 started away,
healtd the death belle ringing;
all the tune t.hat ehe could hear
cruel Barbara Allen."
She looj:ed to the east,ehe looked to the west,
Till she saw the corpse a-coming,
And heard her friends all crying loud,
"Hard-hearted Barbara Allen" .

Oh,mother,mother!make my bead,
Oh,make it long and narrow!
Sweet Willie died for love to-day,
And I must die from sorrow.
Young Willie wae buried in an old church-yard,
And Barbara buried by him.
There sprang a rose from Willie's trave,
And a briar grew forth from Barbara's.
