Simon & Garfunkel - Barbriallen (Demo) lyrics

'Twas in the merry month of May When green bugs were a-swellin' Sweet William on his d**h bed lay For the love of Barbriallen He sent his servant to the town The place where she'd been dwellin' Sayin', "Master dear has sent me here If your name be Barbriallen" And slowly, slowly she got up And slowly she went to him And all she said when she got there "Young man I think you are dyin'" Oh, don't you remember the other day When we where in a tavern? You drank your health to the ladies there And you slided Barbriallen He turned his face unto the wall He turned his back upon her Adieu, adieu to all my friends Be kind to Barbriallen She looked to the east, she looked to the west She saw his corpse a-comin' "Oh, put him down for me", she cried "That I may gaze upon him" The more she looked, the more she grieved She bursted it out in cryin' Oh, pick me up and carry me home For I feel like I am dyin' They buried sweet Willy in the old church yard And Barbara in the new one From Willy's grave there grew a rose From Barbara's a green brier They grew and they grew on the old church wall And could not grow no higher And there they tied in a true love's knot The rose bush and the brier
