lirik lagu mat williams - john barleycorn
[intro]
there were three men came from the west
their fortunes for to tell
and the life of john barleycorn as well
[verse 1]
they laid him in three furrows deep
laid clods upon his head
then these three men made a solemn vow:
john barleycorn was dead
john barleycorn was dead
[verse 2]
they let him lie for a very long time
til the rain from heaven did fall
then little sir john sprang up his head
he did amaze them all
he did amazе them all
[verse 3]
they let him stand til thе midsummer’s day
til he looked both pale and wan
then little sir john he grew a long beard
and so became a man
and so became a man
[chorus: mat williams and background singers]
fa la la it’s a lovely day
sing fa la la lay~o
fa la la, fa la la it’s a lovely day
singing fa la la lay~o
[verse 4]
so they’ve hired men with a scythe so sharp
to cut him off at the knee
they’ve rolled and tied him around the waist
they’ve served him barbarously
they’ve served him barbarously
[chorus: mat williams and background singers]
fa la la it’s a lovely day
sing fa la la lay~o
fa la la, fa la la it’s a lovely day
singing fa la la lay~o
[verse 5]
they’ve hired men with the crab tree sticks
to cut him skin from bone
the miller he has served him worse than that
he’s ground him between two stones
he’s ground him between two stones
[verse 6]
and they’ve wheeled him here
and they’ve wheeled him there
they’ve wheeled him to a barn
and then they have served him worse than that
they bunged him in a bag
they bunged him in a bag
[chorus: mat williams and background singers]
fa la la it’s a lovely day
sing fa la la lay~o
fa la la, fa la la it’s a lovely day
singing fa la la lay~o
[verse 7]
well they’ve worked their will on john barleycorn
but he lived to tell the tale
for they pour him out of an old brown jug
and they call him homebrewed ale
they call him homebrewed ale
[chorus: mat williams and background singers & mat williams]
fa la la it’s a lovely day
sing fa la la lay~o
fa la la, fa la la it’s a lovely day

(fa la lay~o)
fa la la it’s a lovely day
sing fa la la lay~o
fa la la, fa la la it’s a lovely day
fa la la lay~o
(fa la lay~o)

fa la la, fa la la it’s a lovely day
singing fa la la lay~o
