John Barleycorn (Must Die) - Traffic[00:00:01]

Written by：Steve Winwood/Traditional[00:00:02]

There were three men[00:00:14]

Came out of the west[00:00:16]

Thier fortunes for to try[00:00:20]

And these three men[00:00:26]

Made a solemn vow[00:00:29]

John Barleycorn should die[00:00:33]

They've plowed they've sown[00:00:39]

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

Through clods upon his head[00:00:45]

And these three men[00:00:50]

Made a solemn vow[00:00:53]

John barleycorn was dead[00:00:58]

They've let him lie[00:01:03]

For a very long time[00:01:06]

'Till the rain from heaven did fall[00:01:10]

And little Sir John sprung up his head[00:01:15]

And so amazed them all[00:01:22]

They've let him stand[00:01:28]

'Till midsummer's day[00:01:31]

'Till he looked both pale and wan[00:01:34]

And little Sir John's[00:01:42]

Grown a long long beard[00:01:45]

And so become a man[00:01:49]

They've hired men[00:01:58]

With their scythes so sharp[00:02:00]

To cut him off at the knee[00:02:05]

They've rolled him[00:02:10]

And tied him by the way[00:02:12]

Serving him most barbarously[00:02:18]

They've hired men[00:02:23]

With their sharp pitchforks[00:02:26]

Who've pricked him to the heart[00:02:29]

And the loader he served him[00:02:38]

Worse than that[00:02:41]

For he's bound him to the cart[00:02:44]

They've wheeled him around[00:03:07]

And around a field[00:03:10]

'Till they came unto a pond[00:03:14]

And there they made a solemn oath[00:03:20]

On poor John Barleycorn[00:03:27]

They've hired men with their crabtree sticks[00:03:32]

To cut him skin from bone[00:03:38]

And the miller he has served him[00:03:47]

Worse than that[00:03:50]

For he's ground him between two stones[00:03:54]

As supposed to John[00:04:02]

And the nut brown bowl[00:04:05]

And his brandy in the glass[00:04:09]

At supposed to John[00:04:15]

With his nut brown bowl[00:04:18]

As proved the strongest man at last[00:04:22]

The huntsman he can't hunt the fox[00:04:28]

Nor so loudly to blow his horn[00:04:33]

And the thinker he can't mend kettle or pots[00:04:42]

Without a little Barleycorn[00:04:49]
