JOHN BARLEYCORN: A BALLAD(Robert Burns)There was three kings into the east, Three kings both great and high,And they hae sworn a solemn oath John Barleycorn should die. They took a plough and plough`d him down, Put clods upon his head, And they hae sworn a solemn oath John Barleycorn was dead.But the cheerful Spring came kindly on` And show`rs began to fall;John Barleycorn got up again, And sore surpris`d them all.The sultry suns of Summer came, And he grew thick and strong:His head weel arm`d wi pointed spears, That no one should him wrong.The sober Autumn enter`d mild, When he grew wan and pale;His bendin joints and drooping head Show`d he began to fail.His colour sicken`d more and more, He faded into age;And then his enemies began To show their deadly rage.They`ve taen a weapon, long and sharp, And cut him by the knee;They ty`d him fast upon a cart, Like a rogue for forgerie.They laid him down upon his back, And cudgell`d him full sore.They hung him up before the storm, And turn`d him o`er and o`er.They filled up a darksome pit With water to the brim,They heav`d in John Barleycorn- There, let him sink or swim!They laid him upon the floor, To work him farther woe;And still, as signs of life appear`d, They toss`d him to and fro.They wasted o`er a scorching flame The marrow of his bones;But a miller us`d him worst of all, For he crush`d him between two atones.And they hae taen his very hero blood And drank it round and round;And still the more and more they drank, Their joy did more abound.John Barleycorn was a hero bold, Of noble enterprise;For if you do but taste his blood, `Twill make your courage rise.`Twill make a man forget his woe; `Twill heighten all his joy: `Twill make the widow`s heart to sing, Tho the tear were in her eye.Then let us toast John Barleycorn, Each man a glass in hand;And may his great posterity Ne`er fail in old Scotland!TUNE: Lull me beyond theefilename[ BARLEY1ARB===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
