Intro:
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
