Twas in the mCerry month of May
When green budAms all were swGelling
Sweet WDmilliam on his deatCh bed lay
For love of BaGrbara AlClen
He sent his sCervant to the town
To the place wAmhere she was dGwelling
Saying yDmou must come to my Cmaster dear
If your Gname be Barbara AlClen
So slowCly slowly she got up
And slAmowly she drew nigGh him
And the onDmly words to himC did say
Young mGan I think you'Cre dying
As she waClked slowly o'er the field
She heard the Amdeath bells kGnelling
And with eDmvery stroke it seCemed to say
Hard hGearted Barbara CAllen
Oh mother, oh mCother make by bed
Make it loAmng and narGrow
Sweet William Dmdied for me Ctoday
And I will Gdie for him tomoCrrow
(And then I decided to make some changes here...)

They buDried her in the old churchyard
They buried Bmhim besAide her
And fEmrom his grave grew a reDd red rose
And from her gArave a green bDriar
They grew and Dgrew to the steeple top
Till they could gBmrow no hAigher
And thEmere they tied a tDrue love's knot
Red roAse around greenD briar
