[00:00:00] Barbara Allen - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:00] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:00] In scarlet town where I was born

[00:00:05] There was a fair maid dwelling

[00:00:09] Made many a youth cry well a day

[00:00:14] Her name was barbara allen

[00:00:19] It was in the merry month of may

[00:00:23] When green buds they were swelling

[00:00:28] Sweet william came from the west country

[00:00:34] And he courted barbara allen

[00:00:39] He sent his servant unto her

[00:00:44] To the place where she was dwelling

[00:00:49] Said my master's sick bids me call for you

[00:00:55] If your name be barbara allen

[00:01:01] Well slowly slowly got she up

[00:01:07] And slowly went she nigh him

[00:01:12] But all she said as she passed his bed

[00:01:18] Young man I think you're dying

[00:01:24] Then lightly tripped she down the stairs

[00:01:29] She heard those church bells tolling

[00:01:34] And each bell seemed to say as it tolled

[00:01:39] Hard hearted barbara allen

[00:01:45] O mother mother go make my bed

[00:01:49] And make it long and narrow

[00:01:55] Sweet william died for me today

[00:02:00] I'll die for him tomorrow

[00:02:05] They buried barbara in the old church yard

[00:02:10] They buried sweet william beside her

[00:02:15] Out of his grave grew a red red rose

[00:02:21] And out of hers a briar

[00:02:26] They grew and grew up the old church wall

[00:02:31] Till they could grow no higher

[00:02:36] And at the top twined a lover's knot

[00:02:42] The red rose and the briar
