Twas in the merry month of May 
When flowers were a-bloomin' 
Sweet Willie on his deathbed lay 
For the love of Barbara Allen 

He sent his servant to the town 
The town where she did dwell in 
Saying "Master dear has sent me here 
It remained for Barbara Allen" 

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

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

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

She looked to the east, She looked to the west 
She 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 grieved 
She bursted out to cryin' 
Sayin' "pick me up and carry me home 
For I feel like I am dyin'" 

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

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