Babara+Allen

Dear Old Friend of Many Years Whose Favorite Activities Involve Long Walks on the Beach,

I have got to tell you about this song I heard today. It's called 'Barbara Allen'. It is a bluegrass, country song about this woman called Barbara Allen. In the song, Barbara Allen is told of this dying man named William. William talks of an encounter between the two where William is smitten by her and he wishes to tell her this before he dies. He dies later on in the day causing grief for her. She later dies herself, maybe from the grief, the song doesn't say. The song ends with both being buried next to each other and a rose growing out of Williams' grave and a briar coming out of Barbara's. The two eventually intertwine. Its a great song, you should check it out.
