Intro: verse 1 In Scarlet town where I was born There was a fair maid dwellin' And every youth cry well away And her name was Barbara Allen verse 2 Was in the merry month of May When green buds they were swelling Sir William on his deathbed lay For the love of Barbara Allen verse 3 He sent a servant to the town To the place where she was dwellin' Cried master bids you to his side If your name be Barbara Allen verse 4 Well Slowly slowly she got up And slowly she went nigh him And when she pulled the curtain back Said Young man I think you're dying Verse 5 Oh yes I'm sick I'm very sick And I will be no better Until I've had the love of one The love of Brarbra Allen Verse 6 Now Father Father go dig my grave And make it deep and narrow Sweet William died for me today I'll die for him tomorrow Verse 7 Well they buried her in the old courtyard Sir William's grave was nigh her And from his heart there grew a rose And from her heart there grew a briar Verse 8 They grew and grew up the courtyard wall Till they could grow no higher They grew as one no more two hearts Red red rose and the briar The red red rose and Barbra Allen
