[F]
Twas in the merry month of May, [Bb] When green buds [F] were a -swellin',
[Bb]
Sweet William [F] on his deathbed lay, For the love [C] of [F] Barbary ever.
He sent his servant to the town, [Bb] The place where [F] she'd been dwellin',
[Bb] Saying, Master dear, [F] hast sent ye here, If your name [C] be [Bb] Barbary [F] ever?
And slowly, slowly she got [Bb] up, And slowly she [F] went to him,
[Bb] And all she said [F] when she got there, Young man, [C] I [Bb] think [F] you're dying.
Oh, [Bb] [F]
[C]
[F]
don't you remember the other day, [Bb]
When we were [F] in the tavern?
[Bb] You drank your health [F] to the ladies there, And you [C] slighted [F]
Barbary Ellen.
He turned his face unto the wall, [Bb] He turned his back [F] upon her,
[Bb] Adieu, adieu [F] to all my friends, Be kind [C] to [Bb] Barbary [F] Ellen.
She looked to the east, she looked to the west, [Bb] She saw his corpse [F] a -crumblin'.
[Bb] Oh, put him down [F] for me, she cried, That I [C] may [F] gaze upon him.
The more she looked, the more she grieved, [Bb] She bursted [F] out in [Bb] cryin'.
Oh, pick me [F] up and carry me home, For I feel [C] like I [Bb] am [F] dyin'.
[Am]
[F]
They buried sweet Willie in the old churchyard, And [Bb] Barbara in [F] the new one.
[Bb] From Willie's grave [F] they blew a rose, From [C] Barbara's ugly [F]
bride.
They grew and they grew on the old church wall, [Bb] And it could not grow [F] no higher.
[Bb] And there they tied [F] in a true love's knot, The [C] rosebush and [F] the plier.
