[Verse 1]
All in the merry month of May
When the green buds they were swellin'
Young William Green on his death bed lay
For the love of Barbry Ellen
[Verse 2]
He sent his servant to the town
To the place where she was dwellin'
Saying, "Master's sick and he sends for you
If your name be Barbry Ellen"
[Verse 3]
So slowly, slowly she got up
And slowly she came a-nigh him
And all she said when she got there
"Young man, I believe you're dyin'"
[Chorus 1]
Oh, yes, I'm low, I'm vеry low
And death is on me dwellin'
No bеtter, no better I'll never be
If I can't get Barbry Ellen
Oh, yes, you're low, and very low
And death is on you dwellin'
No better, no better you'll never be
For you can't get Barbry Ellen
All in the merry month of May
When the green buds they were swellin'
Young William Green on his death bed lay
For the love of Barbry Ellen
[Verse 2]
He sent his servant to the town
To the place where she was dwellin'
Saying, "Master's sick and he sends for you
If your name be Barbry Ellen"
[Verse 3]
So slowly, slowly she got up
And slowly she came a-nigh him
And all she said when she got there
"Young man, I believe you're dyin'"
[Chorus 1]
Oh, yes, I'm low, I'm vеry low
And death is on me dwellin'
No bеtter, no better I'll never be
If I can't get Barbry Ellen
Oh, yes, you're low, and very low
And death is on you dwellin'
No better, no better you'll never be
For you can't get Barbry Ellen
