Barbara Allan Lyrics - Singles - John Mcdermott

Barbara allan to bill and anne mulloy of calgary, alberta 

It was in and about the martinmas time 

When the green leaves were a fallin' 

That sir john graeme o' the west countree 

Fell in love wi' barbara allan 

He sent his men down thro' the town 

To the place where she was dwellin' 

O haste and come to my master dear 

Gin ye be barbara allan 

O hooly hooly rose she up 

To the place where he was lyin' 

And when she drew the curtain by 

Young man I think yer dyin' 

Oh it's I am sick and very very sick 

And it's a for barbara allan 

O the better for me ye se never be 

Tho' your hearts blood be spillin' 

Remember ye not in the tavern sir 

When ye the cups were fillin' 

How ye made the healths gae round and round 

And slighted barbara allan 

He turned his face unto the wa' 

And death was with him dealin' 

Adieu adieu my dear friands a' 

Be kind tae barbara alan 

Then hooly hooly raise she up 

And slowly slowly left him 

And sighing said she could not stay 

Since death o'life had reft him 

She hadnae gone a mile but twa 

When she heard the deid bell knellin' 

And every jow tha the deid bell gied 

Cried woe tae barbara allan 

O mother mother make my bed 

O make it fast and narrow 

Since my love died for me today 

I die for him tomorrow
