letra de barbry ellen - jp harris
[verse 1]
was in the merry month of may, with the green buds all a-swellin
sweet william green on his deathbed lay for the love of barbry ellen
[verse 2]
he sent his servant to the town, to the place where she was dwellin’
saying “master’s sick and he sends for you, if your name be barbry ellen”
[verse 3]
so slowly, slowly she got up, and slowly she went a-nigh him
but all she said when she got there: “young man i believe you’re dying”
[verse 4]
oh yes i’m low, and very low, and death is on me dwellin’
no better, no better i never shall be if i can’t have barbry ellen
[verse 5]
oh don’t you remember in yonder’s town, in the tavern all a-drinkin’
you raised your glass to the ladies all around, but you slighted barbry ellen
[verse 6]
oh yes i remember in yonder’s town, in the tavern all a-drinkin’
i gave my health to the ladies all around, but my heart to barbry ellen
[verse 7]
he turned his pale face to the wall, and death was on him dwellin’
“adieu, adieu, you good neighbors, all, be kind to barbry ellen”
[verse 8]
as she went walking ‘cross the field she could hear those death bells knellin’
and every toll they seemed to say: “hard-hearted barbry ellen”
[verse 9]
oh mother, oh mother, go make my bed, go make it long and narrow
sweet william died for me today and i’ll die for him tomorrow
[verse 10]
barbry’s buried ‘neath the old church tower, sweet william there beside her
and out of his breast grew a red, red rose, out of barbry’s grew a green briar
[verse 11]
they grew and grew up the old church tower til they could grow no higher
they lapped and tied in a true love’s knot, red rose wrapped ‘round the green briar
