G                 C                G
In Scarlet town where I was born

There was a fair maid dwellin'
G                 C            G
Made every youth cry, "Well away!"

Her name was Barbara Allen

G               C           G
All in the merry month of May
                    D            G
When green buds they were swellin'
G               C               G
Young Jemmy Grove on his deathbed lay
                  D              G
For love of Barbara Allen

He sent his man in to her then

"Go home, go home," the youth did say

"And weep for me, I pray you
G                  C              G
If I should die before you do
                   D                 G
Oh, bury me in Barbara's name"
