In Scarlet Town, (D major)

There was a (A major) fair maid dwell (D major) in'
And many lads (G major) cried well a (D major) day
For the love of (A major) Barbary (G major) Al len (D major)
And in the merry month (G major) of (D major) May,
When green buds (A major) they are swell (D major) ing,
Sweet William on (G major) his deathbed lay
(D major) For a love of (A major) Barbary (G major) Allen (D major)
Now he sent his servant
down (G major) to her (D major)
And down where (A major) she was a (D major) -d wellin'
He said, You must come (G major) to my master, (D major) dear,
If your name be (A major) Barbary (G major) Al len. (D major)
Well slowly, slowly rose (G major) she up (D major) ,
And slowly drew (A major) she nigh (D major) him,
and the only word (G major) s to him

I think (A major) you're (G major) dying (D major) well

to (G major) the old church (D major) top
Till they could grow (A major) no (D major) higher

In a true lover (D major) 's knot
For all true (A major) lovers to admire (G major) (D major) (G major)
