BARBARA ALLEN - Samuel Pepys wrote of his delight in hearing an actress sing this ballad. Goldsmith was moved to tears when an old dairymaid sang it for him. Generations of Britons and Americans, apparently agreed with a mountaineer friend of ours who said that "It made the ha'r rise on my head to hear it sung". It has been for a long time the most popular of traditional ballads in English in both Britain and America.
One might fairly conclude, if popular ballads deal with important psychological patterns, that Barbara Allen contains a theme central to the emotional life of Great Britain and America. The story could not be simpler. A young man is dying of love. He calls for his girl and asks forgiveness and mercy. She scorns and leaves him and he dies. When she hears of his death, she dies of remorse - and in America, in some versions, so does her mother. It seems that the most obvious interpretation here is probably the most cogent: that is, the revenge and subsequent guilt of a proud and probably frigid, or injured, woman, would be felt in different ways by male and female listeners. This explanation fits the history of the sexual pattern in recent times in the English speaking world.
Robert Graves proposed an idea, which may account for the origin of the song. He saw Barbara Allen as a witch who is killing a man by magic. He begs for mercy, but she persists in her cruelty and then, as often transpires in such tales, she is killed by her own wickedness. The offer of gifts to Barbara and her laughing when she sees the corpse, suggest that Graves may well have been right.
Child included only 3 texts but Bronson has 198 tune variantss. Samuel Pepys wrote in his diary for Jan 2nd 1666, the year of the Fire of London: "In perfect pleasure I was to hear Mrs Knipp, the actress, sing, and especially her little Scotch song of Barbry Allen".
It is interesting to compare our composite version from Britain with a whole record, with 30 American variants, compiled by Dr Charles Seeger, published as L-54 by the Library of Congress.
