T'was Ein the merry month of May
When Aflowers were a-Ebloomin'
Sweet AWillie on his Edeathbed lay
For the love of BBarbara EAllen
EHe sent his servant to the town
The Atown where she did dwell Ein
Saying &Aquot;Master dearE has sent me here
If your name be BBarbara EAllen"
EThen slowly, slowly she got up
And Aslowly she went Eto him
And Aall she said when Eshe got there
"Young maBn, I think yoEu're dying"
E"Oh don't you remember the other day
When Awe were in the Etavern?
You Adrank your health to the Eladies there
And you slighted BBarbara EAllen"
EHe turned his face unto the wall
He Aturned his back upon Eher
&qAuot;Adieu! AdieuE! To all my friends
Be kind to BBarbara EAllen"
EShe looked to the east, She looked to the west
She Asaw his corpse a-Ecomin'
&quoAt;Oh sit him downE for me" she cried
"That IB may gEaze upon him"
EThe more she looked the more she grieved
She Abursted out to Ecryin'
Sayin' &Aquot;Pick me upE and carry me home
For I feel like BI am Edyin'"
EThey buried Willie in the old churchyard
And ABarbara in the Enew one
From AWillie's grave there Egrew a rose
From Barbara's Ba green briEar
EThey grew and grew to the old church wall
And Acould not grow no Ehigher
And Athere they died in a Etrue love-knot
The rosebush Band the Ebriar
End
