Barbara Allen - Dave Douglas Quintet feat. Dave Douglas, Jon Irabagon, Matt Mitchell, Linda Oh, & Rudy Royston, Dave Douglas Quintet, Dave Douglas

'Twas in the merry month of May

When all the flowers were blooming

Sweet William Green on his death bed lay

For the love of Barbara Allen

He sent his servant unto her

He sent him to her dwelling

Saying, «Master's sick, he calls for you

If your name be Barbara Allen»

So slowly, slowly she got up

And slowly when she met him

But all she said when she passed his bed

«Young man, I think you’re dying»

Do you remember in yonder’s town

In yonder’s town I drank in

You raised your glass to the womn all around

But you slighted Barbara Allen

Oh mother, mothr make my bed

Oh make it long and narrow

Sweet William died for me today

And I’ll die for him tomorrow

They buried her in the old churchyard

They buried him beside her

And out his grave there lay a rose

And out of her’s, a briar
