[Verse 1]
G Am7 G
In Scarlett Town long time ago,
Bm G
There was a fair maid dwellin’.
Em Bm
She was the fairest of the all,
Am D7 G
And her name was Barbara Ellen.
G Am7 G
All in the merry month of May,
Bm G
When the green buds were swellin’;
Em Bm
Then all the boys for miles around,
Am D7 G Em
Came to call on Barbara Ellen. Oo, OO.
[Verse 2]

Don’t want you land, don’t want you gold,
C#m Bm A
Nor all the sweet words you’re tellin’.
F#m C#m
My heart belongs to to Jimmy Grove;
D E7 A
He’s comin’ home to Barbara Ellen.
A Bm7 A
Don’t be a fool, don’t waste your life.

You’ll have to work and slave beside him.

And it’s true love that’s more compellin’

I’d rather have my Jimmy Grove,
Am D7 G
Than all the world, cried Barbara Ellen.

And when the war was almost done,
Bm Am G
They heard the stee - ple bells a knellin'.
Em Bm
He’s gone he’s gone your Jimmy Grove,
Am D7 G
They’ve killed your love sweet Barbara Ellen.
G Am G
Sweet Barbara died of a broken heart;
Bm Am G
And Jimmy Grove was buried nigh her.

And from her grave grew a red, red rose,
Am D7 G
And from his grave a fragrant brier.

They grew to the top of of the old white church;
G#m F#m E
To the very top of the steeple spire.
C#m G#m
They twined and tied in a true in a true love knot;
F#m B7 E
The red, red rose around the brier.

If you have loved,
F#m E
With a love that’s true;
G#m F#m E
You must believe the tale we’re tellin’.
C#m G#m
True love will last till the end of time,
F#m E
For Jimmy Grove and Barbara Ellen
