Thread Name: Lyr Req: Barbara Allen
Subject: Barbara Allen
The play, Dark of the Moon, has a different version of Barbara Allen than any that I've seen posted on the websites that I've been looking at. The first verse is

A witch boy from the mountains came A-pining to be human For he had seen the fairest maid A gal named Barbara Allen

I'm wondering if there are more verses that those given in the play, since the verses don't tell the whole story.
