Barbara Allan Lyrics

    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
