B for Barney, C for cross
R for my love Barney Ross
All the world will never ever know
The love I have for my Barney o
My Barney o, my Barney o
The love I have for my Barney o

A for apple, P for pear
I love the girl with the long yellow hair
All the world will never ever know
The love I have for my lady o
My lady o, my lady o
My lovely blue eyed lady o

Another verse of a song sung to a variation of the same tune

Fan a winnow-winnow-winnow
Fan a winnow daisy
Fan a winnow ee-I-o
She's away with Barney the Band tier o ('tier' pronounced 'tire')
The Band tier o, the Band tier o
She's away with Barney the Band tier o
