《The Juice Of The Barley》歌词

[00:00:00] The Juice Of The Barley - The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem

[00:00:01] In the sweet country lim'rick

[00:00:03] One cold winter's night

[00:00:06] All the turf fires were burning

[00:00:08] When I first saw the light

[00:00:11] And a drunken old midwife went tipsy with joy

[00:00:17] As she danced round the floor

[00:00:20] With her slip of a boy

[00:00:21] Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:00:25] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:00:29] Well when I was a gossoon

[00:00:31] Of eight years old or so

[00:00:34] With me turf and me primer to school I did go

[00:00:39] To a dusty old school house without any door

[00:00:44] Where lay the school master blind drunk on the floor

[00:00:48] Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:00:52] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:00:56] At the learning I wasn't such a genius I'm thinking

[00:01:03] But I soon bet the master entirely at drinking

[00:01:08] Not a wake or a wedding for five miles around

[00:01:13] But meself in the corner was sure to be found

[00:01:17] Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:01:21] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:01:25] One sunday the priest thread

[00:01:27] Me out from the altar

[00:01:28] Saying you'll end up your

[00:01:30] Days with your neck in a halter

[00:01:33] And you'll dance a fine jig between

[00:01:35] Heaven and hell

[00:01:38] And his words they did frighten me

[00:01:40] The truth for to tell

[00:01:42] Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:01:46] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:01:49] So the very next morning as

[00:01:51] The dawn it did break

[00:01:54] I went down to the vestry the pledge for to take

[00:02:00] And there in that room sat the priests in a bunch

[00:02:07] Round a big roaring fire drinking tumblers of punch

[00:02:11] Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:02:14] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:02:23] Well from that day to this

[00:02:26] I have wandered alone

[00:02:31] I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none

[00:02:36] With the sky for me roof

[00:02:38] And the earth for me floor

[00:02:43] And I'll dance out my days

[00:02:45] Frinking whiskey galore

[00:02:47] Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:02:51] And the juice of the barley for me
