lirik lagu jefferson hamer - barbara ellen
in scarlet town where i was born
in the place where she was dwelling
a young man down on his deathbed lay
for the love of barbara ellen
he sent his servants into town
to the place where she was sleeping
singing “rise, rise, rise, woman, arise
if your name is barbara ellen, oh, ellen
if your name is barbara ellen”
slowly, slowly she rose up
and slowly she drew to him
but all she found it in her hard heart to say
“young man, looks like you’re dying, dying
young man, looks like you’re dying”
“oh no no, it not be so
your love is all i’m needing
one kiss, one kiss from your ruby lips
is all i need to go on living, living
that’s all i need to go on living”
they went walking into town
and they heard the death bells tolling
how all the people, they had gathered round for shame
hard~hearted barbara ellen
and they went walking through the graveyard
and they saw the casket coming
“lay it down, lay it down, lay it down so i might see
so that i might gaze upon him, upon him
so that i might gaze upon him”
“mother, mother, dig my grave
won’t you dig it both long and narrow?
if this young man here died for the love of me
well then i’ll die of sorrow, of sorrow
and then i will die of sorrow”
they were buried in the churchyard
she was buried by the choir
and out of his heart there grew a red red rose
and out of ellen’s grew a briar, a briar
a red, red rose and a briar
so they grew and they grew
until they could grow no higher
and then they twisted into a true lover’s knot
a red, red rose and the briar, the briar
the red, red rose and the briar
in scarlet town where i was born
in the place where she was dwelling
a young man down on his deathbed lay
for the love of barbara ellen
