《John Barleycorn》歌词

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

[00:00:04] Their fortunes for to try

[00:00:07] John Barleycorn - Nigel Perrin

[00:00:09] And these three men made a solemn vow

[00:00:14] John barley corn should die

[00:00:18] They've plowed they've sown they've harrowed him in

[00:00:23] Threw clods upon his head

[00:00:28] And these three men made a solemn vow

[00:00:35] John barley corn was dead

[00:00:42] They've let him lie for a very long time

[00:00:46] Til the rains from heaven did fall

[00:00:50] And little sir john sprung up his head

[00:00:54] And so amazed them all

[00:00:58] They've let him stand 'til midsummer's day

[00:01:02] Til he looked both pale and wan

[00:01:07] And little sir john's he grown long a beard

[00:01:13] And so become a man

[00:01:20] And they've hired men with their scythes

[00:01:23] So sharp to cut him off at the knee

[00:01:28] They've rolled him and tied him

[00:01:31] By the way i serving him most barbarously

[00:01:36] They've hired of men with their sharp pitchforks

[00:01:41] Who've pricked him to the heart

[00:01:45] And the loader he served him worse than that

[00:01:51] For he's bound him to the cart

[00:01:57] They've wheeled him around and around a field 'til

[00:02:02] They came onto a pond

[00:02:06] And there they made a solemn on poor john barley corn

[00:02:16] They've hired men with

[00:02:19] Their crabtree sticks to cut him skin from bone

[00:02:25] And the miller he served him worse than that

[00:02:31] For he's ground him between two stones

[00:02:38] And here sir john and the nut brown bowl

[00:02:43] And his brandy in the glass

[00:02:47] And little sir john and the nut brown bowl proved

[00:02:51] The strongest man at last

[00:02:55] And the huntsman he can't hunt the

[00:02:58] Fox nor so loudly to blow his horn

[00:03:04] And the tinker he can not mend kettle

[00:03:08] Or pots without a little barley corn
