BARBRY ALLEN (Child 84) - Sung by Gerald Hawkins, January 27, 1966.
1. Was in the merry month of May
The flowers were a-bloomin';
Sweet Willie on his death-bed lay
For the love of Barbry Allen.
2. He sent his servant to the town.
The town where she'd been dwellin';
Saying, "Master dear has sent me here,
If your name be Barbry Allen."
