1
Twas in the merry month of May
2
When flowers were a-bloomin'
3
Sweet Willie on his deathbed lay
4
For the love of Barbara Allen
5
He sent his servant to the town
6
The town where she did dwell in
7
Saying "Master dear has sent me here
8
It remained for Barbara Allen"
9
Then slowly slowly she got up
10
And slowly she went to him
11
And all she said when she got there
12
"Young man, I think you're dying"
13
"Oh don't you remember the other day
14
When we were in the tavern?
15
You drank your health to the ladies there
16
And you slighted Barbara Allen"
17
He turned his face unto the wall
18
He turned his back upon her
19
"Adieu! Adieu! To all my friends
20
Be kind to Barbara Allen"
21
She looked to the east, She looked to the west
22
She saw his corpse a-comin'
23
"Oh sit him down for me" she cried
24
"That I may gaze upon him"
25
The more she looked the more she grieved
26
She bursted out to cryin'
27
Sayin' "pick me up and carry me home
28
For I feel like I am dyin'"
29
They buried Willie in the old churchyard
30
And Barbara in the new one
31
From Willie's grave there grew a rose
32
From Barbara's a green briar
33
They grew and grew to the old church wall
34
And could not grow no higher
35
And there they died in a true love-knot
36
The rosebush and the briar
John Travolta - Barbara Allen
