Grayson Capps - Barbara Allen 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 very month of May, green buds they were swellin'
Sweet William on his death bed lay for the love of Barbara Allen
He sent his servant to her house, the place where she was dwellin'
Says you must come to my master's house if your name be Barbara Allen
A dying man oh look at me, one kiss from you shall cure me
One kiss from me you'll never get, while your poor heart is a breakin'
She walked back home through the fields, heard some birds a singin'
And as they sang, they seemed to say, hard-hearted Barbara Allen.
Mother go make my bed, make it long and narrow
My true love died for me yesterday, I shall die for him tomorrow
She was buried in the church house yard, he was buried there beside her
And from his grave grew roses red, from hers grew green briar
They grew and they grew so very high, till they could grow no higher
And at the top grew a true lover's knot, twined with green briar"
