《The Juice Of The Barley》歌词

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

[00:00:06] In the sweet country lim'rick

[00:00:08] One cold winter's night

[00:00:11] All the turf fires were burning

[00:00:13] When I first saw the light

[00:00:16] And a drunken old midwife went tipsy with joy

[00:00:22] As she danced round the floor

[00:00:25] With her slip of a boy

[00:00:27] Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:00:31] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:00:35] Well when I was a gossoon

[00:00:36] Of eight years old or so

[00:00:39] With me turf and me primer to school I did go

[00:00:44] To a dusty old school house without any door

[00:00:49] Where lay the school master blind drunk on the floor

[00:00:53] Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:00:57] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:01:02] At the learning I wasn't such a genius I'm thinking

[00:01:08] But I soon bet the master entirely at drinking

[00:01:13] Not a wake or a wedding for five miles around

[00:01:19] But meself in the corner was sure to be found

[00:01:22] Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:01:26] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:01:31] One Sunday the priest thread

[00:01:32] Me out from the altar

[00:01:34] Saying you'll end up your

[00:01:35] Days with your neck in a halter

[00:01:38] And you'll dance a fine jig between

[00:01:41] Heaven and hell

[00:01:43] And his words they did frighten me

[00:01:46] The truth for to tell

[00:01:47] Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:01:51] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:01:55] So the very next morning

[00:01:56] As the dawn it did break

[00:01:59] I went down to the vestry the pledge for to take

[00:02:06] And there in that room sat the priests in a bunch

[00:02:12] Round a big roaring fire drinking tumblers of punch

[00:02:16] Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:02:20] And the juice of the barley for me

[00:02:29] Well from that day to this

[00:02:31] I have wandered alone

[00:02:35] I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none

[00:02:41] With the sky for me roof

[00:02:44] And the earth for me floor

[00:02:48] And I'll dance out my days

[00:02:50] Frinking whiskey galore

[00:02:52] Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na

[00:02:56] And the juice of the barley for me
