The Cruelty Of Barbary Allen
It was in the merry month of May
When green buds all were swelling
Sweet William on his death-bed lay
For the love of Barbara Allen
He sent his servant to the town
To the place where she was dwelling
The master sayin again he sends for you
If your name be Barb'ry Allen
So slowly slowly she got up
And slowly she came nigh him
And all she said when she got there
Young man, I believe you're dying
Oh yes, I'm old, I'm very old
And death is on me dwelling
No better, no better than I never be
If I can have Barb'ry Allen
Oh yes, you're alone, you're very alone
And death is on you dwelling
No better, no better, you will never be
For you can't get Barbry Allen
Oh don't you rememberin yonders town
In yonders town a-drinking
You passed your glass all around and around
But not to Barb'ry Allen
Oh, yes, I remember in yonders town
In yonders town a-drinking
I drank my health to the ladies all around
And slighted Barbr'y Allen
He turned his pale face to the wall
And death was on him dwelling
I do, I do, you go neighbors all
I do sweet Barbr'y Allen
As she was glim across the fields
The glance of bells were knelling
And every tone the death bell ring
Hard hearted Barbr'y Ellen
O mother, O mother, make my bed
Go make it both long an' narrow
Sweet Willie died for me today
And I'll die for him tomorrow
O he was buried in the old churchyard
And she was buried, anigh him
And out of this pearl grew a red, red rose
A out of pearl's a brier
O they grew, and they grew up the old church tower
'Til they could grow no higher
They let them tied in a true loves knot
Red rose wrapped around the brier
