Everly Brothers - Barbara Allen Lyrics
Twas in the merry month of MayWhen flowers were a-bloomin'Sweet Willie on his deathbed layFor the love of Barbara AllenHe sent his servant to the townThe town where she did dwell inSaying "Master dear has sent me hereIt remained for Barbara Allen"Then slowly slowly she got upAnd slowly she went to himAnd all she said when she got there"Young man, I think you're dying""Oh don't you remember the other dayWhen we were in the tavern?You drank your health to the ladies thereAnd you slighted Barbara Allen"He turned his face unto the wallHe turned his back upon her"Adieu! Adieu! To all my friendsBe kind to Barbara Allen"She looked to the east, She looked to the westShe saw his corpse a-comin'"Oh sit him down for me" she cried"That I may gaze upon him"The more she looked the more she grievedShe bursted out to cryin'Sayin' "pick me up and carry me homeFor I feel like I am dyin'"They buried Willie in the old churchyardAnd Barbara in the new oneFrom Willie's grave there grew a roseFrom Barbara's a green briarThey grew and grew to the old church wallAnd could not grow no higherAnd there they died in a true love-knotThe rosebush and the briar
