lirik lagu anvil - john barleycorn must die
[verse 1]
there were three men came out of the west
their fortune for to try
and these three men made a solemn vow
john barleycorn must die
[verse 2]
they’ve plowed, they’ve sown, they’ve harrowed him in
threw clods upon his head
and these three men made a solemn vow
john barleycorn was dead
[verse 3]
they’ve let him lie for a very long time
’til the rains from heavеn did fall
and little sir john sprung up his head
and so amazed thеm all
[verse 4]
they’ve let him stand ’til [?] day
’til he looked both pale and wan
and little sir john’s grown a long, long beard
and so became a man
[verse 5]
they’ve hired men with scythes so sharp
to cut him off at the knee
they’ve rolled him and tied him by the waist
serving him most barbarously
[verse 6]
they’ve hired men with the sharp pitchforks
who pr~cked him to the heart
and the loader’s served him worse than that
for he’s bound him to a cart
[verse 7]
they’re hired men with the crab tree sticks
to cut him skin from bone
and the miller served him worse than that
for he’s ground him between two stones
[verse 8]
little sir john in a nut brown bowl
and brandy in the glass
and little sir john in the nut brown bowl
proved the strongest man and lass
[verse 9]
for the huntsman, he can’t hunt the fox
nor so loudly blow his h~rn
and the tinker, he can’t make kettle or pot
without little barleycorn
