Barbara Allen

Mother, go make my bed
媽媽為我來鋪床
Make it long and narrow
鋪得狹窄又狹長
My true love died for me yesterday
我的愛消逝昨日
I shall die for him tomorrow
明日我將為他亡
She was buried in the church house yard
她葬在教堂的後院
And he was buried there beside her
而他就葬在她的墓旁
And from his grave grew roses red
他的墓上長出了紅玫瑰
From hers grew greenbriers
而她的墓上長出了綠薔薇
They grew and they grew so very high
它們長的又高又長
Till they couid grow no higher
直到生命的最高處
And at the top grew a true iover' s knot
在頂處結成一個真愛之結
Twined with greenbriers
終與薔薇連理共結
