BONNY BARBARA ALLAN.
It was in and about the Martinmas time,
when the green leaves were a-falling,
That Sir John Graeme, in the west countrie
fell in love with Barbara Allan.
He sent his man down thro' the town,
to the place where she was dwelling;
O haste and come to my master dear,
Gin ye be Barbara Allan.
O hooly, hooly went she up,
to the place where he was lying,
And when she drew the curtain by,
Young man, I think you're dying.
O ⟨it's⟩ I'm sick, and very sick,
and 'tis a' for Barbara Allan.
O the better for me ye's never be,
tho' your heart's blood were a-spilling.
O dinna ye mind, young man, said she,
when ye was in the tavern drinking,
Ye made the healths gae round & round,
but slsghted Barbara Allan.
