Barbara Allen歌词完整版
All in the merry month of May
When the green buds they were swelling
William Green on his death bed lay
For the love of Barbara Allen
He sent his servant to the town
To the place where she was dwelling
Saying Love there is a call for you
If your name is Barbara Allen
She was very slowly getting up
And very slowly going
The only words she said to him
Were Young man I think you're dying
Don't you remember the other day
When you were in town a drinking
You drank a health to the ladies all around
And slighted Barbara Allen
O yes I remember the other day
When I was in town a drinking
I drank a health to the ladies all around
But my love to Barbara Allen
He turned his pale face to the wall
And death was in him dwelling
Adieu adieu to my friends all
Be kind to Barbara Allen
When she got in two miles of town
She heard the death bells ringing
They rang so clear as if to say
Hard hearted Barbara Allen
So she looked east and she looked west
And saw the cold corpse coming
She says Come round you nice young man
And let me look upon you
The more she looked the more she grieved
Until she burst out crying
Perhaps I could have saved that young man's life
Who now is here a lying
O Mother O Mother come make my bed
O make it both soft and narrow
For sweet William died to day
And I will die to morrow
O Father O Father come dig my grave
O dig it deep and narrow
For sweet William died in love
And I will die in sorrow
Sweet William was buried in the old church tomb
Barbara Allen was buried in the yard
Out of William's heart grew a red rose
Out of Barbara Allen's grew a brier
They grew and grew to the old church tower
And they could not grow any higher
And at the end tied a true lover's knot
And the rose wrapped around the brier
