Barbara Allen Video (MV)

In Scarlet Town where I was born
There was a fair maid dwelling
She made all the boys cry well-a-day
Her name was Barbara Allen

It was in the merry month of May
When the green buds they were swelling
Fair William on his death bed lay
For the love of Barbara Allen

So he sent his servant to the town
To the town where she was dwelling
My master bid you come with me
If your name be Barbara Allen

So slowly slowly she got up
And slowly she drew nigh him
But all that she did say to him
Was young man I think you're dying

Oh yes oh yes I'm very sick
Oh yes I'm nigh to dying
And all because of love for you
Hard-hearted Barbara Allen

But do you can the other day
In the town where I was dwelling
You gave a toast to the ladies 'round
But you slighted Barbara Allen

Oh yes oh yes I can it well
In the town where you were dwelling
I gave a toast to the ladies 'round
But my heart to Barbara Allen

As she was going o'ar the hill
She heard the death bell knelling
And every note did seem to say
Hard-hearted Barbara Allen

Oh father father dig my grave
Oh dig it deep and narrow
Fair William died for me today
I'll die for him tomorrow
