Barbara Allen
Last updated: 11.10.23
I'm not really sure as whether Barbara Allen is an American or English folksong but having learned the song as an English schoolchild in an English school in Worcester, the very heart of England, and the quintessence of things English, this song is, for me, English.
Barbara Allen was a great favourite of Steffi Lubrich and the version we played can be found in 100 Best Folk Songs For Recorder.
I used to accompany Maike Weyerts on my concertina when she sang this with Das Trio.
