《John Barleycorn (Must Die)》歌词

[00:00:00] John Barleycorn (Must Die) - Traffic

[00:00:11] There were three men came out of the West

[00:00:19] Their fortunes for to try

[00:00:25] And these three men made a solemn vow:

[00:00:32] John Barleycorn must die

[00:00:38] They've ploughed they've sewn

[00:00:41] They've harrowed him in

[00:00:44] Threw clods at Barleys head

[00:00:53] And these three men made a solemn vow

[00:01:00] John Barleycorn was dead

[00:01:30] They've let him lie for a very long time

[00:01:37] Till the rains from heaven did fall

[00:01:43] And little Sir John sprung up his head

[00:01:50] And so amazed them all

[00:01:57] They've let him stand till midsummers day

[00:02:03] Till he looked both pale and worn

[00:02:12] And little Sir Johns grown a long long beard

[00:02:19] And so become a man

[00:02:48] They've hired men with the scythes so sharp

[00:02:55] To cut him off at the knee

[00:03:01] They've rolled him and tied him by the waist

[00:03:08] Serving him most barbarously

[00:03:14] They've hired men with the sharp pitchforks

[00:03:20] Who pricked him to the heart

[00:03:29] And the loader he has served him worse than that

[00:03:35] For hes bound him to the cart

[00:04:04] They've wheeled him around and around the field

[00:04:11] Till they came unto a barn

[00:04:17] And there they made a solemn oath

[00:04:24] On poor John Barleycorn

[00:04:30] They've hired men with the crab-tree sticks

[00:04:36] To cut him skin from bone

[00:04:44] And the miller he has served him worse than that

[00:04:51] For his ground him between two stones

[00:05:20] And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl

[00:05:26] And his brandy in the glass

[00:05:32] And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl

[00:05:39] Proved the strongest man at last

[00:05:45] The huntsman he can't hunt the fox

[00:05:50] Nor so loudly to blow his horn

[00:05:59] And the tinker he can't mend kettle nor pots

[00:06:06] Without a little Barleycorn
