The Juice Of The Barley (Live) - The Clancy Brothers[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:01]

In the sweet country lim'rick one cold winter's night[00:00:31]

All the turf fires were burning when I first saw the light[00:00:37]

And a drunken old midwife went tipsy with joy[00:00:42]

As she danced round the floor with her slip of a boy[00:00:48]

Cho singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:00:52]

And the juice of the barley for me[00:00:56]

Well when I was a gossoon of eight years old or so[00:01:00]

With me turf and me primer to school I did go[00:01:05]

To a dusty old school house without any door[00:01:09]

Where lay the school master blind drunk on the floor[00:01:15]

Cho singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:01:19]

And the juice of the barley for me[00:01:23]

At the learning I wasn't such a genius I'm thinking[00:01:27]

But I soon bet the master entirely at drinking[00:01:34]

Not a wake or a wedding for five miles around[00:01:39]

But meself in the corner was sure to be found[00:01:44]

Cho singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:01:48]

And the juice of the barley for me[00:01:52]

One Sunday the priest thread me out from the altar[00:01:56]

Saying you'll end up your days with your neck in a halter[00:01:59]

And you'll dance a fine jig between heaven and hell[00:02:03]

And his words they did frighten me the truth for to tell[00:02:09]

Cho singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:02:13]

And the juice of the barley for me[00:02:16]

So the very next morning as the dawn it did break[00:02:20]

I went down to the vestry the pledge for to take[00:02:25]

And there in that room sat the priests in a bunch[00:02:31]

Round a big roaring fire drinking tumblers of punch[00:02:37]

Cho singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:02:41]

And the juice of the barley for me[00:02:45]

Well from that day to this I have wandered alone[00:02:54]

I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none[00:03:01]

With the sky for me roof and the earth for me floor[00:03:07]

And I'll dance out my days frinking whiskey galore[00:03:14]

Cho singing ban ya na mo if an ga na[00:03:17]

And the juice of the barley for me[00:03:21]
