      E
T'was in the merry month of May
     A              E
When flowers were a-bloomin'
      A              E
Sweet William on his deathbed lay
                B       E
For the love of Barbara Allen

E
He sent his servant to the town
    A                        E
The town where she did dwell in
        A               E
Saying "Master dear has sent me here
                B       E
If your name be Barbara Allen"

E
Then slowly, slowly she got up
    A               E
And slowly she went to him
    A                 E
And all she said when she got there
              B            E
"Young man, I think you're dying"

E
"Oh don't you remember the other day
     A              E
When we were in the tavern?
    A                        E
You drank your health to the ladies there
                 B       E
And you slighted Barbara Allen"

E
He turned his face unto the wall
   A                    E
He turned his back upon her
  A               E
"Adieu! Adieu! To all my friends
           B       E
Be kind to Barbara Allen"

E
She looked to the east, She looked to the west
    A                E
She saw his corpse a-comin'
    A                E
"Oh sit him down for me" she cried
            B     E
"That I may gaze upon him"

E
The more she looked the more she grieved
    A              E
She bursted out to cryin'
        A              E
Sayin' "Pick me up and carry me home
                B    E
For I feel like I am dyin'"

E
They buried Willie in the old churchyard
    A              E
And Barbara in the new one
     A                    E
From Willie's grave there grew a rose
               B          E      
From Barbara's a green briar

E
They grew and grew to the old church wall
    A                 E
And could not grow no higher
    A                    E
And there they died in a true love-knot
             B       E
The rosebush and the briar
