1
Twas in the merry month of May
2
The green buds were a swelling
3
Sweet William on his death bed lay
4
For the love of Barbara Allen
5
He sent his servant unto her
6
To the place where she was dwelling
7
Saying you must come to his bedside now
8
If your name be Barbara Allen
9
So slowly, slowly she got up
10
And slowly she drew nigh him
11
And the only words to him she said
12
Young man I think you’re dying
13
As she walked slowly o’er fields
14
She heard the death bell knelling
15
And with every stroke it seemed to say
16
Hardhearted Barbara Allen
17
Oh mother, mother make my bed
18
Make it long and narrow
19
Sweet William died for me today
20
And I will die for him tomorrow
21
They buried her in the old churchyard
22
They buried him beside her
23
And from his grave grew a red, red rose
24
And from her grave a green briar
25
They grew and grew to the steeple top
26
Till they could not grow higher
27
And there they tied in a true love’s knot
28
Red rose around green briar
