Barbry Ellen - June Tabor
In Scarlet Town where I was born There was a fair maid dwelling Made every youth cry welladayAnd her name was Barbry Ellen All in the merry month of May When the green buds they were swelling Young William Green on his death bed lay For the love of Barbry Ellen He sent his servant to the town To her own father'sdwelling Saying master'ssick and he bids you to come If your name be Barbry Ellen Then slowly slowly got she up So slowly she came nigh him And all she said when she got there Young man I believe you'redying O yes I'msick and I'mvery sick And I never will be any better Until I gain the love of one The love of Barbry Ellen O yes you'resick and you'revery sick And you never will be any better For you never will gain the love of one The love of Barbry Ellen O don'tyou remember in yonders town In yonders town adrinkingYou gave the health to the ladies all around And slighted Barbry Ellen O yes I remember in yonders town In yonders town adrinkingI give the health to the ladies all around But my heart to Barbry Ellen He'sturned his pale face to the wall And death was with him dwelling Farewell farewell my good neighbours all Be kind to Barbry Ellen She was awalkingthrough the fields She heard the death bell knelling And every stroke that death bell gave Cried woe to Barbry Ellen She was awalkingthrough the woods She saw his pale corpse acomingSet down set down that corpse of clay That I might look upon him The more she looked the more she grieved Until she burst out crying O take him away o take him away For I myself am dying O mother mother go make my bed Go make it both long and narrow Sweet William has died for love of me And I shall die of sorrow O father father go dig my grave Go dig it both long and narrow Sweet William has died for me today And I'lldie for him tomorrow She was buried in the old churchyard Sweet William was buried anighher And out of his grave grew a red red rose Out of Barbry'sgrew a green briar And they And they grew grew and and grew grew up the up the old church old Tower church till they couldn'tgrow any higher And there they tied in a true lover'sknot Red rose around green briar Tower till they couldn'tgrow any higher And there they tied in a true lover'sknot Red rose around green briar Guitar score
