letra de barbara ellen - ye vagabonds
[verse 1]
’twas early, early in the spring
when the rose buds they were swellin’
young william on his death bed lay
all for the love of barbry ellen
[verse 2]
he sent a servant to the town
to the town where she was dwellin’
saying, “my master’s sick, and he sends for you
if you be barbry ellen”
[verse 3]
so slow, slowly she got up
and slowly she went to him
though all she said when she got there
“young man, i fear you’re dying”
[verse 4]
“oh yes, i’m sick, i’m dreadful sick
i hear the dead wind tumbling
and no better, no better will i ever be
if i can’t have barbry ellen”
[verse 5]
“well i remember that distant night
down in the logwood tavern
you danced and sang with a lady fair
you slighted barbry ellen”
[verse 6]
as she was on her long way home
she saw the funeral coming
she said, “lay me down his body there
that i may look upon him”
[verse 7]
the more she looked, the more she saw
till she fell down in sorrow
“young william died for me today
i’ll die for him tomorrow”
[verse 8]
they lay her in the far graveyard
and william’s grave beside her
and all o’er his grave grew red, red rose
o’er barbara’s grave a briar
[verse 9]
they grew and grew up the churchyard wall
till they could grow no higher
and they wound and bound in a true lover’s knot
the red rose and the briar
