Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]In [F]Sca[G]rle[C]t Town,
where [G]I was b[C]orn,
there was a fair [G]maid [C]dwellin',
made every youth cry well awake.
Her name [G]was Barbara Al[C]len.
He sent his servants to the town
where Barbara was a -dwellin'.
Your master sent and sent for you
If your name's [G]Barbara Al[C]len
So [G]slowly, [C]slowly she got [G]up[C]
And slowly she [G]came [C]nigh him
And all she said when she got there
Young man, [G]I think you're dy[C]ing
Yes, I'm sick and [G]very [C]sick
And death is [G]on me [C]dwelling
No better, no better, I never will be
If I can't have [G]Barbara Al[C]len
Oh [Cm]mama, oh [C]mama, go dig [G]my [C]grave
Go dig [G]it long and nar[C]row
Sweet William died for me today
I'll die for [G]him tomorrow
[C]Now he was buried in
[G]the old church[C]yard
And he was buried, [G]and I heard
[C]On William's grave there grew a red rose,
On Barbara's [G]grew a green [C]briar.
