Traditional - John Barleycorn слова песни
1.There were three men coming out of the westtheir fortunes for to tryand these three men made a solemn vowJohn Barleycorn should die.They ploughed him inthey harrowed him inthrew clods all over his head.And these three men they swore and vowed:John Barleycorn was dead.2. They let him lie for a very long timetill rain from heaven did fall.And little Sir John sprung up his headand so amazed them all.They let him stand till midsummer`s dayhe looked both pale and wan.And little Sir John`s grown a long long beardand so became a man.3. They hired men with the scythes so sharpto cut him off at knee.They rolled him and tied him `round the waistand served him barbarously.Then they sent men with pitchforks strongto pierce him through the heart.And the loader served him worse than thatfor he`s bound him to a cart.4. They hired men with crab-tree sticksto cut him skin from bonethe miller served him worse than thatand ground him between two stones.And little Sir John and the dark brown bowland he`s brandy in the glassand little Sir John and the dark brown bowlgrew the strongest man at last.
