John Barleycorn (Must Die) - Air Traffic[00:00:06]

There were three men came out of the West[00:00:56]

Their fortunes for to try[00:01:02]

And these three men made a solemn vow[00:01:08]

John Barleycorn must die[00:01:15]

They've ploughed, they've sewn, they've harrowed him in[00:01:21]

Threw clouds upon his head[00:01:26]

And these three men made a solemn vow[00:01:35]

John Barleycorn was dead[00:01:42]

They've let him lie for a very long time[00:02:11]

Till the rains from heaven did fall[00:02:17]

And little Sir John sprung up his head[00:02:23]

And so amazed them all[00:02:30]

They've let him stand till midsummer's day[00:02:36]

Till he looked both pale and wan[00:02:41]

And little Sir John's grown a long, long beard[00:02:50]

And so become a man[00:02:57]

They've hired men with the scythes so sharp[00:03:24]

To cut him off at the knee[00:03:30]

They've rolled him and tied him by the way[00:03:36]

Serving him most barbarously[00:03:42]

They've hired men with the sharp pitchforks[00:03:49]

Who pricked him to the heart[00:03:53]

And the loader he has served him worse than that[00:04:01]

For he's bound him to the cart[00:04:07]

They've wheeled him around and around the field[00:04:35]

Till they came unto a barn[00:04:41]

And there they made a solemn oath[00:04:46]

On poor John Barleycorn[00:04:53]

They've hired men with the crab-tree sticks[00:04:58]

To cut him skin from bone[00:05:03]

And the miller he has served him worse than that[00:05:11]

For he's ground him between two stones[00:05:17]

And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl[00:05:44]

And he's brandy in the glass[00:05:51]

And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl[00:05:56]

Proved the strongest man at last[00:06:02]

The huntsman, he can't hunt the fox[00:06:08]

Nor so loudly to blow his horn[00:06:12]

And the tinker he can't mend kettle nor pot[00:06:20]

Without a little Barleycorn[00:06:27]
