"A diary entry by Samuel Pepys on January 2, 1666 contains the earliest extant reference to the song. In it, he recalls the fun and games at a New Years party:[3]"...but above all, my dear Mrs Knipp whom I sang; and in perfect pleasure I was to hear her sing, and especially her little Scotch song of Barbary Allen."From this, Roud & Bishop inferred the song was popular at the time. They suggested that it may have been written for stage performance, as Elizabeth Knepp was a professional actress, singer, and dancer.[2]

Heard this for the first time on the Waltons' TV Show. After some research I found that it was an English Ballad first sang around 1666. But the first written version was around 1810.

So good to hear music. What comes over on the radio or on some TV show or tape today is not.

Diane Bingham

This is the melancholic style of Irish ballads.....Allen is a name in my family tree...(descendents of Ethan Allen)....Artie makes it his own,as he always does, and no one can top this version, I am sure! He adds sweetness to the utter sadness...
