How you made the ladies' health go 'round And you slighted Barbara Allen?" And death is printed on his face and all his heart is stealin' but still he cried as she left his side, "Hard-hearted Barbara Allen!" (Play Chords once and let ring) She was going over the field she heard the death bell tollin' and every sound the death bell gave--- "Hard-hearted Barbara Allen!" Oh mother, mother make me a bed Oh make it soft and narrow since Jimmy died for me today I'll die for him tomorrow. Outro: Em G Em G Em G Em (let ring) |
