There are numerous variations, but here's one (though not my favorite): [i]They buried Willie in the old church yard, And Barbara there anigh him, And out of his grave grew a red, red rose, And out of hers, a briar. They grew and grew in the old churchyard, Till they couldn't grow no higher, They lapped and tied in a true love's knot. The rose ran around the briar.[/i] ~Barbara Allen (of course)
