《The Cruelty of Barbry Allen》歌词

[00:00:00] The Cruelty of Barbry Allen - Meg Baird

[00:00:08] It was in the Merry month of May

[00:00:16] When green buds all were swelling

[00:00:21] Sweet William on his death bed lay

[00:00:28] For the love of Barbara Allen

[00:00:39] He sent his servant to the town

[00:00:45] To the place where she was dwelling

[00:00:52] The master sayin again he sends for you

[00:00:57] If your name be Barb'ry Allen

[00:01:14] So slowly slowly she got up

[00:01:21] And slowly she came nigh him

[00:01:27] And all she said when she got there

[00:01:33] Young man I believe you're dying

[00:01:50] Oh yes I'm old I'm very old

[00:01:57] And death is on me dwelling

[00:02:03] Life to no better than I never be

[00:02:09] If I can have Barb'ry Allen

[00:02:20] Oh yes you're alone you're very alone

[00:02:26] And death is on you dwelling

[00:02:32] No better no better you will never be

[00:02:38] For you can't get Barbry Allen

[00:02:49] Oh don't you rememberin yonders town

[00:02:56] In yonders town a drinking

[00:03:02] You passed your glass all around and around

[00:03:08] But not to Barb'ry Allen

[00:03:19] Oh yes I remember in yonders town

[00:03:25] In yonders town a drinking

[00:03:31] I drank my health to the ladies all around

[00:03:37] And slighted Barbr'y Allen

[00:03:54] He turned his pale face to the wall

[00:04:00] And death was on him dwelling

[00:04:07] I do I do you go neighbors all

[00:04:12] I do sweet Barbr'y Allen

[00:04:29] As she was glim across the fields

[00:04:36] The glance of bells were knelling

[00:04:42] And every tone the death bell ring

[00:04:47] Hard hearted Barbr'y Ellen

[00:04:58] O mother o mother make my bed

[00:05:05] Go make it both long an' narrow

[00:05:10] Sweet Willie died for me today

[00:05:17] And I'll die for him tomorrow

[00:05:28] O he was buried in the old churchyard

[00:05:34] And she was buried anigh him

[00:05:40] And out of this pearl grew a red red rose

[00:05:46] A out of pearl's a brier

[00:05:57] O they grew and they grew up the old church tower

[00:06:03] 'Til they could grow no higher

[00:06:09] They let them tied in a true loves knot

[00:06:15] Red rose wrapped around the brier
