Barbara Allen

Probably the best known folk-song in the English-Speaking world - this song was my father's favourite.

[LeonardPaisley]

This reminds me of my late aunt.  Thanks for doing one of the best versions I've ever heard of this song!

This is a lovely lovely version.

Please listen to Frank Turner's version of this, such a different rendition to this!

[blinddrunkal]

@loseourselvesx thanks for that - just listened to Franks version - really enjoyed it! All the best :o) Alan

Thank you. The very best rendition of a beautiful old song.

[N3x1um]

Out of all the versions I can find on youtube, this and John Travolta's version are my favorite. Great job!

I had never heard of this song until I heard Simon & Garfunkels cover (which is lovely, as I see it). You've done a good job on this one :)

My grand father taught my sister and I this song in 1943. Just him myself and my sister on the front porch swing while grandma was cooking dinner. Also standing on the seat beside him in his 1941 Ford as he toured his Oklahoma farms. He looked a lot like you.
