There were three men[00:00:01]

Came from the west[00:00:02]

Their fortunes for to tell[00:00:03]

And the life of John Barleycorn[00:00:04]

As well[00:00:04]

They laid him three furrows deep[00:00:05]

Laid clods upon his head[00:00:07]

The these three men made a solemn vow[00:00:11]

John Barleycorn was dead[00:00:19]

They let him die for a very long time[00:00:27]

Till the rain from heaven did fall[00:00:30]

Then little Sir John sprang up his head[00:00:34]

And he did amaze them all[00:00:38]

They let him stand till the midsummer day[00:00:49]

Till he looked both pale and wan[00:00:53]

Then little Sir John he grew a long beard[00:00:57]

And so became a man[00:01:03]

They have hired men with the scythes so sharp[00:01:19]

To cut him off at the knee[00:01:31]

They rolled and they tied him around the waist[00:01:35]

The served him barbarously[00:01:42]

They have hired men with the crab-tree sticks[00:02:05]

To cut him skin from bone[00:02:09]

And the miller he has served him worse than that[00:02:13]

For he's ground him between two stones[00:02:19]

They've wheeled him here they've wheeled him there[00:02:44]

They've wheeled him to a barn[00:02:48]

And they have served him worse than that[00:02:51]

They've bunged him in a vat[00:03:01]

They have worked their will on John Barleycorn[00:03:22]

But he lived to tell the tale[00:03:25]

For they pour him out of an old brown jug[00:03:29]

And they call him home brewed ale[00:03:35]
