The Juice Of The Barley - The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem[00:00:00]
In the sweet country lim'rick[00:00:06]
One cold winter's night[00:00:08]
All the turf fires were burning[00:00:11]
When I first saw the light[00:00:13]
And a drunken old midwife went tipsy with joy[00:00:16]
As she danced round the floor[00:00:22]
With her slip of a boy[00:00:25]
Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:00:27]
And the juice of the barley for me[00:00:31]
Well when I was a gossoon[00:00:35]
Of eight years old or so[00:00:36]
With me turf and me primer to school I did go[00:00:39]
To a dusty old school house without any door[00:00:44]
Where lay the school master blind drunk on the floor[00:00:49]
Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:00:53]
And the juice of the barley for me[00:00:57]
At the learning I wasn't such a genius I'm thinking[00:01:02]
But I soon bet the master entirely at drinking[00:01:08]
Not a wake or a wedding for five miles around[00:01:13]
But meself in the corner was sure to be found[00:01:19]
Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:01:22]
And the juice of the barley for me[00:01:26]
One Sunday the priest thread[00:01:31]
Me out from the altar[00:01:32]
Saying you'll end up your[00:01:34]
Days with your neck in a halter[00:01:35]
And you'll dance a fine jig between[00:01:38]
Heaven and hell[00:01:41]
And his words they did frighten me[00:01:43]
The truth for to tell[00:01:46]
Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:01:47]
And the juice of the barley for me[00:01:51]
So the very next morning[00:01:55]
As the dawn it did break[00:01:56]
I went down to the vestry the pledge for to take[00:01:59]
And there in that room sat the priests in a bunch[00:02:06]
Round a big roaring fire drinking tumblers of punch[00:02:12]
Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:02:16]
And the juice of the barley for me[00:02:20]
Well from that day to this[00:02:29]
I have wandered alone[00:02:31]
I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none[00:02:35]
With the sky for me roof[00:02:41]
And the earth for me floor[00:02:44]
And I'll dance out my days[00:02:48]
Frinking whiskey galore[00:02:50]
Singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:02:52]
And the juice of the barley for me[00:02:56]
