The Juice Of The Barley - The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem[00:00:00]
In the sweet country lim'rick[00:00:01]
One cold winter's night[00:00:03]
All the turf fires were burning[00:00:06]
When I first saw the light[00:00:08]
And a drunken old midwife went tipsy with joy[00:00:11]
As she danced round the floor[00:00:17]
With her slip of a boy[00:00:20]
Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:00:21]
And the juice of the barley for me[00:00:25]
Well when I was a gossoon[00:00:29]
Of eight years old or so[00:00:31]
With me turf and me primer to school I did go[00:00:34]
To a dusty old school house without any door[00:00:39]
Where lay the school master blind drunk on the floor[00:00:44]
Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:00:48]
And the juice of the barley for me[00:00:52]
At the learning I wasn't such a genius I'm thinking[00:00:56]
But I soon bet the master entirely at drinking[00:01:03]
Not a wake or a wedding for five miles around[00:01:08]
But meself in the corner was sure to be found[00:01:13]
Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:01:17]
And the juice of the barley for me[00:01:21]
One sunday the priest thread[00:01:25]
Me out from the altar[00:01:27]
Saying you'll end up your[00:01:28]
Days with your neck in a halter[00:01:30]
And you'll dance a fine jig between[00:01:33]
Heaven and hell[00:01:35]
And his words they did frighten me[00:01:38]
The truth for to tell[00:01:40]
Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:01:42]
And the juice of the barley for me[00:01:46]
So the very next morning as[00:01:49]
The dawn it did break[00:01:51]
I went down to the vestry the pledge for to take[00:01:54]
And there in that room sat the priests in a bunch[00:02:00]
Round a big roaring fire drinking tumblers of punch[00:02:07]
Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:02:11]
And the juice of the barley for me[00:02:14]
Well from that day to this[00:02:23]
I have wandered alone[00:02:26]
I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none[00:02:31]
With the sky for me roof[00:02:36]
And the earth for me floor[00:02:38]
And I'll dance out my days[00:02:43]
Frinking whiskey galore[00:02:45]
Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:02:47]
And the juice of the barley for me[00:02:51]
