(repeat as above)
Then slowly, slowly got she up
And slowly came she nigh him;
And all she said when e'er she came,
“Young man I think you’re dyin’.”
Oh, yes I’m sick, I’m very sick
Indeed I think I'm dyin'
But a word from you will revive me again
Oh lovely Barbara Allen
"Do you recall, young man," she said,
"When the red wine you were spillin'?
How you made the ladies' health go 'round
And you slighted Barbara Allen?"
And death is printed on his face
and all his heart is stealin'
