John Barleycorn (Must Die) - Traffic[00:00:00]

There were three men came out of the West [00:00:11]

Their fortunes for to try [00:00:19]

And these three men made a solemn vow:[00:00:25]

John Barleycorn must die [00:00:32]

They've ploughed they've sewn [00:00:38]

They've harrowed him in [00:00:41]

Threw clods at Barleys head [00:00:44]

And these three men made a solemn vow[00:00:53]

John Barleycorn was dead [00:01:00]

They've let him lie for a very long time [00:01:30]

Till the rains from heaven did fall [00:01:37]

And little Sir John sprung up his head [00:01:43]

And so amazed them all [00:01:50]

They've let him stand till midsummers day [00:01:57]

Till he looked both pale and worn [00:02:03]

And little Sir Johns grown a long long beard [00:02:12]

And so become a man [00:02:19]

They've hired men with the scythes so sharp [00:02:48]

To cut him off at the knee [00:02:55]

They've rolled him and tied him by the waist [00:03:01]

Serving him most barbarously [00:03:08]

They've hired men with the sharp pitchforks [00:03:14]

Who pricked him to the heart [00:03:20]

And the loader he has served him worse than that [00:03:29]

For hes bound him to the cart[00:03:35]

They've wheeled him around and around the field [00:04:04]

Till they came unto a barn [00:04:11]

And there they made a solemn oath [00:04:17]

On poor John Barleycorn [00:04:24]

They've hired men with the crab-tree sticks [00:04:30]

To cut him skin from bone [00:04:36]

And the miller he has served him worse than that [00:04:44]

For his ground him between two stones [00:04:51]

And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl [00:05:20]

And his brandy in the glass[00:05:26]

And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl [00:05:32]

Proved the strongest man at last [00:05:39]

The huntsman he can't hunt the fox [00:05:45]

Nor so loudly to blow his horn [00:05:50]

And the tinker he can't mend kettle nor pots [00:05:59]

Without a little Barleycorn[00:06:06]
