Barbara Allan
It was in and about the Martinmas time,
When the green leaves were a-fallin’;
That Sir John Graeme in the West Country
Fell in love with Barbara Allan.
He sent his man down through the town
To the place where she was dwellin’:
“O haste and come to my master dear,
If you are Barbara Allan.”
O slowly, slowly raise she up,
To the place where he was lyin’,
And when she drew the curtain by:
“Young man, I think you’re dying.’”
“O it’s I’m sick, and very, very sick,
And tis all for Barbara Allan.”
“O the better for me you shall never be*,
Though your heart’s blood were a-spillin’.
“O don’t you remember, young man,” said she,
“When ye the cups were fillin’,
That you made the toasts go round and round,
And slighted* Barbara Allan?”
*you’ll never be good enough for me
He turned his face unto the wall,
And death with him was dealin’:
“Adieu*, adieu, my dear friends all,
And be kind to Barbara Allan.”
And slowly, slowly, raise she up,
And slowly, slowly left him;
And sighing said she could not stay,
Since death of life had reft him.
She had not gone a mile but two,
When she heard the dead-bell callin’
And every stroke the dead bell gave,
It cried , “Woe to Barbara Allan!”
“O mother, mother, make my bed,
O make it soft and narrow:
Since my love died for me today,
I’ll die for him tomorrow.”
* to slight someone means to insult or ignore them
*Adieu = good-bye
