barbary allen - liam weldon lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
’twas early in the month of may
when the green buds they were swellin’
young jemmy groves on his death*bed he lay
for the love of barbary allen

[verse 2]
he called a servant to his side
he called a servant by him
“oh go ya down to yonder town
and seek ye barbary allen.”

[verse 3]
his servant went into the town
to the inn where she’d her dwelling
“my master’s sick for love of you
if your name is barbary allen.”

[verse 4]
slowly, slowly she arose
and slowly she camе nigh him
“i’m greatly ‘feared, young man,” said shе
“ah young man you are a*dying.”

[verse 5]
now when he’d heard these fatal words:
“young man, young man you’re dying.”
he turned his face into the wall
and he bursted out a*crying
[verse 6]
“do you recall in yonder town
in my father’s tavern dwelling
you gave sweet wine to the ladies there
but you slighted barbary allen?”

[verse 7]
“well i recall down in the town
in your father’s tavern dwelling
sweet wine i gave to the ladies there
but my heart to barbary allen.”

[verse 8]
slowly, slowly she went home
and she heard the death*bell knelling
at every toll it seemed to say:
“ah cruel barbary allen.”

[verse 9]
and the very next day down in the town
she saw his funeral coming
“will you lay him down this one last time
so that i may look upon him.”

[verse 10]
“father, father make my grave
and make it long and narrow
young jemmy’s died for love of me
i will surely die of sorrow.”
[verse 11]
they laid him then in the old grave*yard
and beside him on the morrow
they laid her there, barbary allen so fair
for ’twas true she died of sorrow
