He sent his man down through the town To the place where she was dwellin’: “O haste and come to my master dear, If you are Barbara Allan.” O slowly, slowly raise she up, To the place where he was lyin’, And when she drew the curtain by:“Young man, I think you’re dying.’” “O it’s I’m sick, and very, very sick, And tis all for Barbara Allan.” “O the better for me you shall never be*, Though your heart’s blood were a-spillin’. “O don’t you remember, young man,” said she, “When ye the cups were fillin’, That you made the toasts go round and round, And slighted* Barbara Allan?” *you’ll never be good enough for me * to slight someone means to insult or ignore them *Adieu = good-bye
