CTwas in the merry month of May
When Fflowers were a Cbloomin'
Sweet FWillie on his Cdeathbed Amlay
For the Clove of G7Barbara CAllen
He sent his servant to the town
The Ftown where she did Cdwell in
Saying Fmaster dear has Csent me Amhere
If your Cname be G7Barbara CAllen
Then slowly slowly she got up
And Fslowly she went Cto him
And Fall she said when Cshe got Amthere
Young Cman I G7think you're Cdying
Oh don't you remember the other day
When Fwe were in the Ctavern
You Fdrank your health to the Cladies Amthere
And you Cslighted G7Barbara CAllen
He turned his face unto the wall
He Fturned his back upCon her
AFdieu adieu to Call my Amfriends
Be Ckind to G7Barbara CAllen
She looked to the east she looked to the west
She Fsaw his corpse a-Ccomin'
Oh Fsit him down for Cme she Amcried
That CI may G7gaze upon Chim
The more she looked the more she grieved
She Fbusted out to Ccryin'
Sayin' Fpick me up and Ccarry me Amhome
For CI feel G7like I am Cdyin'
They buried Willie in the old churchyard
And FBarbara in the Cnew one
From FWillie's grave there Cgrew a Amrose
From CBarbara's G7a green Cbrier
They grew and grew to the old church wall
And Fcould not grow no Chigher
And Fthere they died in a Ctrue love-Amknot
The Crosebush G7and the Cbrier
