lirik lagu traffic (uk) - john barleycorn (must die)
there were three men came out of the west
their fortunes for to try
and these three men made a solemn vow:
john barleycorn must die
they’ve ploughed, 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
they’ve let him lie for a very long time
till the rains from heaven did fall
and little sir john sprung up his head
and so amazed them all
they’ve let him stand till midsummer’s day
till he looked both pale and wan
and little sir john’s grown a long, long beard
and so become a man
they’ve hired men with the scythes so sharp
to cut him off at the knee
they’ve rolled him and tied him by the way
serving him most barbarously
they’ve hired men with the sharp pitchforks
who pr-cked him to the heart
and the loader he has served him worse than that
for he’s bound him to the cart
they’ve wheeled him around and around the field
till they came unto a barn
and there they made a solemn oath
on poor john barleycorn
they’ve hired men with the crab-tree sticks
to cut him skin from bone
and the miller he has served him worse than that
for he’s ground him between two stones
and little sir john and the nut-brown bowl
and his brandy in the gl-ss;
and little sir john and the nut-brown bowl
proved the strongest man at last
the huntsman, he can’t hunt the fox
nor so loudly to blow his h-rn
and the tinker he can’t mend kettle nor pot
without a little barleycorn
