¶Lyrics / Text

My mother had a maid call’d Barbara, She was in love, And he she lov’d prov’d false and did forsake her. She had a song of willow, An old thing ’twas, but it expressed her fortune, And she died singing it. That song tonight Will not go from my mind; I’ve much a do Not to go on hang my head all o’ one side And sing it like poor Barbara.
