Biografia:
Shirley Collins MBE (born Shirley Elizabeth Collins on 5 July 1935 in Hastings, Sussex) is an award-winning British folksinger who was a significant contributor to the English Folk Revival of the 1960s and 1970s. She often performed and recorded with her sister Dolly Collins, whose accompaniment on piano and portative organ created unique settings for her sister's plain, austere singing style. Collins's seminal recording is considered by many to be 'Anthems in Eden', released in 1969.

[Verse]
Gm F D7
It was round and about last Martinmas tide
Gm F Gm
When the green leaves were swellin'
Gm F D7
That young Jimmy Grove of the West Country
Cm Gm
Fell in love with Barb'ry Allen
[Chorus]
Bb F Bb/A Gm
He sent his men into the town
Bb F Eb
To the place where she was dwellin'
Bb F Bb/A Gm
"Oh will you come to my master, dear,
Bb F Gm
If your name be Barb'ry Allen?"
[Verse]
Gm F D7
And slowly, slowly got she up
Cm Gm
And slowly came she nigh him
Gm F D7
And all she said when there she came
Gm F Gm
"Young man, I think you're dyin'"
[Chorus]
Bb F Bb Bb/A Gm
"Oh, yes, I'm sick, I'm very sick
Bb F Eb
Indeed I think I'm dyin'
Bb F Bb Bb/A Gm
But a word from you would revive me again
Bb D7 Gm
Oh lovely Barb'ry Allen"
[Verse]
Gm F D7
"Do you recall, young man," she said,
Gm F Gm
"When the red wine you were spillin',
Gm F D7
How you made the ladies' health go round
Gm Cm Gm
And you slighted Barb'ry Allen?"
[Chorus]
Bb F Bb Bb/A Gm
And death is printed on his face
Bb F Eb
And all his heart is stealin'
Bb F Bb Bb/A Gm
And again he cried as she left his side
Bb F Gm
"Hard-hearted Barb'ry Allen!"
[Verse]
Gm F D7
As she was goin' over the field
Gm F Gm
She heard the death bells tollin'
Gm F D7
And every sound that death bell gave:
Cm Gm
"Hard-hearted Barb'ry Allen!"
[Chorus]
Bb F Bb Bb/A Gm
"Oh mother, mother make my bed
Bb F Eb
Oh make it soft and narrow
Bb F Bb Bb/A Gm
Since Jimmy died for me to---day
Gm Dm Gm
I'll die for him tomorrow"
