John Barleycorn - Fairport Convention (公平港口大会)[00:00:00]

There were three men come out of the west [00:00:08]

Their fortunes for to try[00:00:12]

And these three men made a solemn vow [00:00:16]

John Barleycorn would die[00:00:20]

They've ploughed they've sown [00:00:24]

They've harrowed thrown clods upon his head[00:00:27]

Till these three men were satisfied John Barleycorn was dead[00:00:33]

There's beer all in the barrel and brandy in the glass[00:00:41]

But little Sir John with his nut-brown bowl [00:00:50]

Proved the strongest man at last[00:00:54]

They've let him lie for a long long time till[00:00:58]

The rains from heaven did fall[00:01:02]

And little Sir John sprang up his head and so amazed them all[00:01:06]

They've let him stand till midsummer's day[00:01:15]

And he looks both pale and wan[00:01:19]

Then little Sir John's grown a long long beard[00:01:23]

And so become a man[00:01:27]

There's beer all in the barrel and brandy in the glass[00:01:31]

But little Sir John with his nut-brown bowl [00:01:40]

Proved the strongest man at last[00:01:44]

There's beer all in the barrel and brandy in the glass[00:01:48]

But little Sir John with his nut-brown bowl [00:01:57]

Proved the strongest man at last[00:02:01]

They've hired men with[00:02:38]

The sharp-edged scythes to cut him off at the knee[00:02:40]

They've rolled him and tied him around the waist [00:02:46]

Treated him most barbarously[00:02:50]

They've hired men with the sharp-edged forks to[00:02:54]

Prick him to the heart[00:02:59]

And the loader has served him worse than[00:03:02]

That for he's bound him to the cart[00:03:06]

So they've wheeled him around[00:03:11]

And around the field till they've come unto a barn[00:03:13]

And here they've kept their solemn word concerning Barleycorn[00:03:19]

They've hired men with[00:03:27]

The crabtree sticks to split him skin from bone[00:03:30]

And the miller has served him worse than[00:03:36]

That for he's ground him between two stones[00:03:39]

There's beer all in the barrel and brandy in the glass[00:03:45]

But little Sir John with his nut-brown bowl [00:03:54]

Proved the strongest man at last[00:03:58]

There's beer all in the barrel and brandy in the glass[00:04:02]

But little Sir John with his nut-brown bowl [00:04:10]

Proved the strongest man at last[00:04:14]

And the huntsman he can't hunt the fox nor loudly blow his horn[00:04:18]

And the tinker he can't mend his pots without John Barleycorn[00:04:27]
