Verse 1:
      G                    C                   G
Dear Sarah I’m stuck on a train bound for Richmond.
                                  D
We marched down from Gurnstown uphill all the way.
        G                         C                    G
At the train stop in Stanton, we pulled up and climbed on
                              D           G
Then we just sat there for a night and a day.

Chorus:
 G                  D                      G
And the nights are long, but I write you ev’ry day.
             D             G
And I hum a song that you used to sing.
                              C             G
The one of sweet William his love, Barbara Allen
                  D                 G
And how she was always a long ways away.

G

Verse 2:
    G                         C                   G
My insides are all torn from hard tack and parch corn.
                                   D
My hat flew in a windstorm so the sun has turned me red.
     G                           C               G
The first chance to lie still I pull out your Bible
                             D            G
But fall fast asleep before one verse is read.

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 3:
      G                    C            G
Dear Sarah in parting keep me in your heart.
                                   D
I do not drink or gamble ‘cause I promised you I’d do.
       G              C                G
So as not to mislead you I did have a need to
                             D                   G
When we were surrounded and looked like we were through.  

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag:
     G                         C              G
The one of sweet William, his love Barbara Allen
                 D                  G
And how she was always a long ways away.

Ending:
   G        D           G                   D         G
In Scarlet Town, I did dwell. There was a fair maid a-dwellin’.
          D      G                  D       G
Many men cried, well, for the love Barbara Allen.
