"Barbara Allen"
Intro:
Bb F C F
F
T'was in the merry month of May
Bb F
When flowers were a-bloomin'
Bb F
Sweet Willie on his deathbed lay
C F
For the love of Barbara Allen
F
He sent his servant to the town
Bb F
The town where she did dwell in
Bb F
Saying "Master dear has sent me here
C F
If your name is Barbara Allen"
F
Then slowly, slowly she got up
Bb F
And slowly she went to him
Bb F
And all she said when she got there
C F
"Young man, I think you're dying"
F
"Oh don't you remember the other day
Bb F
When we were in the tavern?
Bb F
You drank your health to the ladies there
C F
And you slighted Barbara Allen"
Bb F C F
F
He turned his face unto the wall
Bb F
He turned his back upon her
Bb F
"So long farewell to all my friends
C F
Be kind to Barbara Allen"
F
She looked to the east, she looked to the west
Bb F
She saw his corpse a-comin'
Bb F
"Oh sit him down for me" she cried
C F
"That I may gaze upon him"
F
The more she looked the more she grieved
Bb F
She bursted out to cryin'
Bb F
Sayin' "Pick me up and carry me home
C F
For I feel like I am dyin'"
Bb F C F
F
They buried Willie in the old churchyard
Bb F
And Barbara in the new one
Bb F
From Willie's grave there grew a rose
C F
From Barbara's a green briar
F
They grew and grew to the old church wall
Bb F
And could not grow no higher
Bb F
And there they died in a true love-knot
C F
The rosebush and the briar
Bb F C F
