Lyrics
In Scarlet town where I was born There was a fair maid dwellin' Made every youth cry well a-day Her name was Barbara Allen All in the merry month of May When green buds they were swellin' Young Willie Grove on his death bed lay For love of Barbara Allen He sent his servant to her door To the town where she was dwellin' Haste ye come, to my master's call If your name be Barbara Allen So slowly, slowly got shе up And slowly drew she nigh him And all she said, whеn there she came 'Young man I think you're dying' He turned his head unto the wall And death was drawing nigh him Goodbye, goodbye dear friends and all Be kind to Barbara Allen Oh mother, mother, make my bed And make it soft and narrow Sweet William died for love of me And I shall die of sorrow They buried her in the old churchyard Sweet William's grave was nigh hers And from his grave grew a red, red rose From hers a cruel briar They grew and grew up the old church spire Until they could grow no higher And there they twined, in a true love knot The red, red rose and the briar
