《Barbara Allen》歌词

[00:00:00] Barbara Allen - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)

[00:00:05] In Scarlet Town where I was born

[00:00:09] There was a fair maid dwellin'

[00:00:13] Made every youth cry well a day

[00:00:17] And Her name was Barbery Allen

[00:00:21] It was in the merry merry month of May

[00:00:26] When the green buds they were swellin'

[00:00:31] Sweet William on his death bed lay

[00:00:34] For the love of Barbery Allen

[00:00:38] He sent his servant to the town

[00:00:43] To the place where she was a-dwellin'

[00:00:47] Cried Master bids you come to him

[00:00:51] If your name be Barbery Allen

[00:00:55] Then slowly slowly she got up

[00:01:01] And slowly went she nigh him

[00:01:04] And when she pulled the curtains back

[00:01:08] Said Young man I think you're dyin'

[00:01:12] Oh yes I'm sick I'm very very sick

[00:01:16] And I never will be better

[00:01:20] Until I have the love of one

[00:01:24] The love of Barbery Allen

[00:01:28] Oh can you not in yonder town

[00:01:32] In the place where you were a-dwellin'

[00:01:36] You gave a toast to the ladies all

[00:01:40] But you slighted Barbery Allen

[00:01:44] Oh yes I can I can it well

[00:01:48] In the place where I was a-dwellin'

[00:01:51] I give a toast to the ladies all

[00:01:55] But my love to Barbery Allen

[00:02:00] Then lightly tripped she down the stairs

[00:02:04] He trembled like an aspen

[00:02:08] Tis vain tis vain my dear young man

[00:02:13] To hone for Barbery Allen

[00:02:17] She walked out in the green green fields

[00:02:23] She heard his death bells knellin'

[00:02:28] And every stroke they seemed to say

[00:02:32] Hard hearted Barbery Allen

[00:02:36] Her eyes looked east her eyes looked west

[00:02:40] She saw his pale corpse comin'

[00:02:44] She cried Bearers bearers put him down

[00:02:50] That I may look upon him

[00:02:54] The more she looked the more she grieved

[00:03:00] Until she burst out cryin'

[00:03:04] She cried Bearers bearers take him off

[00:03:10] For I am now a-dyin'

[00:03:13] Oh father oh father go dig my grave

[00:03:19] Go dig it deep and narrow

[00:03:24] Sweet William died for me today

[00:03:29] I'll die for him tomorrow

[00:03:33] They buried her in the old churchyard

[00:03:38] Sweet William's grave was nigh her

[00:03:44] And from his heart grew a red red rose

[00:03:48] And from her heart a brier

[00:03:53] They grew and they grew over the old church wall

[00:03:59] Till they couldn't grow no higher

[00:04:05] Until they tied a true lover's knot

[00:04:10] The red rose and the brier
