Dear Sarah Im stuck on a train bound for Richmond.
We marched down from Gurnstown uphill all the way.
At the train stop in Stanton, we pulled up and climbed on
Then we just sat there for a night and a day.
And the nights are long, but I write you evry day.
And I hum a song that you used to sing.
The one of sweet William his love, Barbara Allen
And how she was always a long ways away.
My insides are all torn from hard tack and parch corn.
My hat flew in a windstorm so the sun has turned me red.
The first chance to lie still I pull out your Bible
But fall fast asleep before one verse is read.
(Repeat Chorus)
Dear Sarah in parting keep me in your heart.
I do not drink or gamble cause I promised you Id do.
So as not to mislead you I did have a need to
When we were surrounded and looked like we were through.
(Repeat Chorus)
Tag:
The one of sweet William, his love Barbara Allen
And how she was always a long ways away.
In Scarlet Town, I did dwell. There was a fair maid a-dwellin.
Many men cried, well, for the love Barbara Allen.
