Bb  F  C  F  
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
Bb  F  C  F  
End
