《For the Love of Barbara Allen》歌词

[00:00:00] 'Twas in the merry month of May

[00:00:04] When flowers were a bloomin'

[00:00:06] Sweet Willie on his deathbed lay

[00:00:08] He sent his servant to the town

[00:00:09] The town where she did dwell in

[00:00:12] Saying Master dear has sent me here

[00:00:26] It remained for Barbara Allen

[00:00:29] Then slowly slowly she got up

[00:00:33] And slowly she went to him

[00:00:37] And all she said when she got there

[00:00:41] Young man I think you're dying

[00:00:43] Oh don't you remember the other day

[00:00:47] When we were in the tavern

[00:00:49] You drank your health to the ladies there

[00:00:51] And you slighted Barbara Allen

[00:00:52] He turned his face unto the wall

[00:00:54] He turned his back upon her

[00:00:55] Adieu adieu to all my friends

[00:00:56] Be kind to Barbara Allen

[00:01:00] She looked to the East she looked to the West

[00:01:02] She saw his corpse a comin'

[00:01:03] Oh sit him down for me she cried

[00:01:06] That I may gaze upon him

[00:01:13] The more she looked the more she grieved

[00:01:16] She busted out to cryin'

[00:01:19] Sayin' Pick me up and carry me home

[00:01:21] For I feel like I am dyin'

[00:01:22] They buried Willie in the old churchyard

[00:01:26] And Barbara in the new one

[00:01:27] From Willie's grave there grew a rose

[00:01:28] From Barbara's a green brier

[00:01:30] They grew and grew to the old church wall

[00:01:33] And could not grow no higher

[00:01:34] And there they died in a true love knot

[00:01:38] The rosebush and the brier
