IN fearlet Town where I was bound, there was a fair Maid dwelling, Whom I had chosen to be my own, And her Name it was Barbara Allen. All in the merry Month of May, When green Leaves they was springing, This young Man on his Death-bed lay For the Love of Barbara Allen.
He sent his Made unto her then, To the Town where she was dwelling, You must come to my Master dear, If your Name it be Barbara Allen. For Death is printed in his Face, And sorrow in him dwelling, And thou must come to my Master, dear If your Name be Barbara Allen.
If Death be printed in his Face, And sorrows in him dwelling, Then Little better shall he be, For bonny Barbara Allen. So slowly, slowly, she come to him, And so slowly she came to him, And all she said when came the[r]e, Young Man, I think you're a dying, He turn'd his face unto her then, If you be Barbara Allen. My dear said he come pitty me, As on my death Bed I am lying. If on your Death bed you be lying, What is that to Barbara Allen, I cannot keep you from Death, So farewel Barbara Allen. He turn'd his faee unto the wall, And death came creeping to him, Then adieu adieu and adieu to you all, And adieu to barbara Allen. And as she was walking one day, She heard the Bells a ringing, And it did seem to ring for her, Unworthy Barbara Allen,
She turned herself round about, And She espy'd the corps a eoming. Lay down lay down the corps she said, That I may Look upon him; And all the while she Looked on, So Loudly she lay Laughing, While all her Friends cry'd out amain, Unworthy Barbara allen, When he was Dead and laid in Grave, then Death came creeping to she? O Mother! Mother! make my bed: For his Death hath quite undone me a hard hearted creature that i was, to slight one that Loved me so dearly I wish I had been more kinder to him, in time of his Life, when he was near me So this Maid she then did die, and desired to be buried by him, and repented herself before she dy'd, that ever she did deny him. as she was lying down to die, a sad few'd she fell in, She said I pray take warning by, Heard hearred Barbara Allen.
