F
T'was in the merry month of May 
     Bb             F
When flowers were a-bloomin' 
      Bb            F
Sweet Willie on his deathbed lay 
                C       F
For the love of Barbara Allen 

F
He sent his servant to the town 
    Bb                 F
The town where she did dwell in 
        Bb              F
Saying "Master dear has sent me here 
                C       F
If your name is Barbara Allen" 

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

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

Bb F C F

F
He turned his face unto the wall 
   Bb               F
He turned his back upon her 
    Bb               F
"So long farewell to all my friends 
           C       F
Be kind to Barbara Allen" 

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

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

Bb F C F

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

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