[00:11.95]There were three men came out of the West
[00:19.06]Their fortunes for to try
[00:25.28]And these three men made a solemn vow:
[00:32.27]John Barleycorn must die
[00:38.55]They've ploughed  they've sewn
[00:41.12]They've harrowed him in
[00:44.36]Threw clods at Barleys head
[00:53.41]And these three men made a solemn vow
[01:00.55]John Barleycorn was dead
[01:30.48]They've let him lie for a very long time
[01:37.44]Till the rains from heaven did fall
[01:43.70]And little Sir John sprung up his head
[01:50.74]And so amazed them all
[01:57.08]They've let him stand till midsummers day
[02:03.07]Till he looked both pale and worn
[02:12.02]And little Sir Johns grown a long  long beard
[02:19.05]And so become a man
[02:48.56]They've hired men with the scythes so sharp
[02:55.31]To cut him off at the knee
[03:01.61]They've rolled him and tied him by the waist
[03:08.45]Serving him most barbarously
[03:14.71]They've hired men with the sharp pitchforks
[03:20.48]Who pricked him to the heart
[03:29.11]And the loader he has served him worse than that
[03:35.97]For hes bound him to the cart
[04:04.75]They've wheeled him around and around the field
[04:11.60]Till they came unto a barn
[04:17.66]And there they made a solemn oath
[04:24.45]On poor John Barleycorn
[04:30.51]They've hired men with the crab-tree sticks
[04:36.20]To cut him skin from bone
[04:44.81]And the miller he has served him worse than that
[04:51.56]For his ground him between two stones
[05:20.22]And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl
[05:26.87]And his brandy in the glass
[05:31.77]
[05:32.84]And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl
[05:39.58]Proved the strongest man at last
[05:45.62]The huntsman  he cant hunt the fox
[05:50.88]Nor so loudly to blow his horn
[05:59.63]And the tinker he can't mend kettle nor pots
[06:06.90]Without a little Barleycorn
