Sweet William Marr is a death bed
G 
C

laid for the love of Barbie Allen
So he sent his servant to Scarlet Town
C 
Am 
to the place where she was dwellin'
C 
Am 
Sayin' you must come to my master, dear
G

If your name be Barbie Allen
So slowly, slowly she got up
C

And slowly came beside him
C 
Am 
But all she said when she got there
G

Young man, I think you're dying
So he turned his face to the wall
C

And death was curling for him
C

Goodbye, goodbye to my  friends -in -law
G

Why, oh why, Barbie, I'm dead
Oh, mother, mother, go dig my grave
C 
G

Make it long an d nar row
C

He was buried in the old churchyard,
C 
Am 
and soon she was laying beside him
C 
And above
G 
Am 
Sweet William there grew a rose,
G 
Am 
and out of hers it brightened
They grew and they grew
in the orchard yard
C 
Am 
Till they couldn't grow no higher
C 
And then they formed
Am 
a true love snot
G 
Am 
Rose around the brier you
