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