lyrics

In Scarlet Town, where I was born,
There was a fair maid dwellin'
Made every youth cry well-a-day
Her name was Barbara Allen.

'Twas in the merry month of May
The green buds they were swellin',
Sweet William on his deathbed lay
For love of Barbara Allen.

"O mother, mother make my bed,
Make it long and narrow.
Sweet William died for love today,
I'll die for him tomorrow."

They buried her in the old church yard,
And him they laid beside her,
And from his grave grew a red, red rose,
From hers a cruel, cruel briar.

They grew and grew up the old church tower,
'Til they could grow no higher,
And there they twined in a true love knot,
The red, red rose and the briar.
