Rhyme Scheme: AABA BABA AAC DEF G HA HAI JAJ KAL MNBN JAJ

In Scarlet town where I was bornA
There was a fair maid dwellin'A
Made every youth cry Well a wayB
Her name was Barbara AllenA
-
All in the merry month of MayB
When green buds they were swellin'A
Young Jemmy Grove on his death bed layB
For love of Barbara AllenA
-
He sent his man in to her thenA
To the town where she was dwellin'A
'O haste and come to my master dearC
If your name be Barbara Allen '-
-
So slowly slowly rase she upD
And slowly she came nigh himE
And when she drew the curtain byF
'Young man I think you're dyin' '-
-
'O it 's I am sick and very very sickG
And it 's all for Barbara Allen '-
'O the better for me ye'se never beH
Tho' your heart's blood were a spillin'A
-
'O dinna ye mind young man ' says sheH
'When the red wine ye were fillin'A
That ye made the healths go round and roundI
And slighted Barbara Allen '-
-
He turn'd his face unto the wallJ
And death was with him dealin'A
'Adieu adieu my dear friends allJ
And be kind to Barbara Allen '-
-
As she was walking o'er the fieldsK
She heard the dead bell knellin'A
And every jow the dead bell gaveL
Cried 'Woe to Barbara Allen '-
-
'O mother mother make my bedM
O make it saft and narrowN
My love has died for me to dayB
I'll die for him to morrowN
-
'Farewell ' she said 'ye virgins allJ
And shun the fault I fell inA
Henceforth take warning by the fallJ
Of cruel Barbara Allen '-
