[00:00:00] The Juice Of The Barley (Live) - The Clancy Brothers

[00:00:01] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:31] In the sweet country lim'rick one cold winter's night

[00:00:37] All the turf fires were burning when I first saw the light

[00:00:42] And a drunken old midwife went tipsy with joy

[00:00:48] As she danced round the floor with her slip of a boy

[00:00:52] Cho singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:00:56] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:01:00] Well when I was a gossoon of eight years old or so

[00:01:05] With me turf and me primer to school I did go

[00:01:09] To a dusty old school house without any door

[00:01:15] Where lay the school master blind drunk on the floor

[00:01:19] Cho singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:01:23] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:01:27] At the learning I wasn't such a genius I'm thinking

[00:01:34] But I soon bet the master entirely at drinking

[00:01:39] Not a wake or a wedding for five miles around

[00:01:44] But meself in the corner was sure to be found

[00:01:48] Cho singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:01:52] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:01:56] One Sunday the priest thread me out from the altar

[00:01:59] Saying you'll end up your days with your neck in a halter

[00:02:03] And you'll dance a fine jig between heaven and hell

[00:02:09] And his words they did frighten me the truth for to tell

[00:02:13] Cho singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:02:16] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:02:20] So the very next morning as the dawn it did break

[00:02:25] I went down to the vestry the pledge for to take

[00:02:31] And there in that room sat the priests in a bunch

[00:02:37] Round a big roaring fire drinking tumblers of punch

[00:02:41] Cho singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:02:45] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:02:54] Well from that day to this I have wandered alone

[00:03:01] I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none

[00:03:07] With the sky for me roof and the earth for me floor

[00:03:14] And I'll dance out my days frinking whiskey galore

[00:03:17] Cho singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:03:21] And the juice of the barley for me
