<LG>
<L>IN <HI>Scarlet</HI> Town where I was bound,</L>
<L>there was a fair Maid dwelling,</L>
<L>Whom I had cho&s;en to be my own</L>
<L>and her name it was <HI>Barbara Allen.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>All in the merry Month of <HI>May,</HI></L>
<L>when green leaves they was &s;pringing,</L>
<L>This young man on his Death-bed lay,</L>
<L>for the love of <HI>Barbara Allen.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He &s;ent his man unto her then,</L>
<L>to the Town where &s;he was dwelling,</L>
<L>You mu&s;t come to my Ma&s;ter dear,</L>
<L>if your name be <HI>Barbara Allen.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>For Death is printed in his face,</L>
<L>and &s;orrow's in him dwelling,</L>
<L>And you mu&s;t come to my Ma&s;ter dear,</L>
<L>if your name be <HI>Barbara Allen.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If Death be printed in his face,</L>
<L>and &s;orrows in him dwelling,</L>
<L>Then little better &s;hall he be,</L>
<L>for bonny <HI>Barbara Allen.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>So &s;lowly, &s;lowly &s;he got up,</L>
<L>and &s;o &s;lowly &s;he came to him,</L>
<L>And all &s;he &s;aid when &s;he came there,</L>
<L>Young man I think you are a dying.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He turn'd his face unto her then,</L>
<L>if you be <HI>Barbara Allen.</HI></L>
<L>My dear &s;aid he, come pitty me,</L>
<L>as on my Death-Bed I am lying.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If on your Death Bed you be lying,</L>
<L>what is that to <HI>Barbara Allen.</HI></L>
<L>I cannot keep you from Death,</L>
<L>&s;o farewell, &s;aid <HI>Barbara Allen?</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He turn'd his face unto the Wall,</L>
<L>and Death came creeping to him;</L>
<L>Then adieu, adieu and adieu to all,</L>
<L>and adieu to <HI>Barbara Allen.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And as &s;he was walking on a day,</L>
<L>&s;he heard the Bell a Ringing,</L>
<L>And it did &s;eem to Ring to her,</L>
<L>Vnworthy <HI>Barbara Allen.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>She turn'd her &s;elf round about,</L>
<L>and &s;he &s;py'd the Corps a coming;</L>
<L>Lay down lay down the Corps of Clay&punc;</L>
<L>that I may look upon him.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And all the while &s;he looked on,</L>
<L>&s;o loudly &s;he lay laughing;</L>
<L>While all her Friends cry'd amain,</L>
<L>Vnworthy <HI>Barbara Allen.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When he was dead and laid in Grave,</L>
<L>then Death came creeping to &s;he</L>
<L>O Mother! Mother! make my Bed</L>
<L>for his death hath quite undone we.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>A hard-hearted Creature that I was,</L>
<L>to &s;light one that lov'd me &s;o dearly,</L>
<L>I wi&s;h I had been more kinder to him,</L>
<L>the time of his Life, when he was near me.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>So this Maid &s;he then did dye,</L>
<L>and de&s;ired to be buried by him,</L>
<L>And repented her &s;elf before &s;he dy'd,</L>
<L>that ever &s;he did deny him.</L>
