《John Barleycorn》歌词

[00:00:06] John Barleycorn (Must Die) - Air Traffic

[00:00:56] There were three men came out of the West

[00:01:02] Their fortunes for to try

[00:01:08] And these three men made a solemn vow

[00:01:15] John Barleycorn must die

[00:01:21] They've ploughed, they've sewn, they've harrowed him in

[00:01:26] Threw clouds upon his head

[00:01:35] And these three men made a solemn vow

[00:01:42] John Barleycorn was dead

[00:02:11] They've let him lie for a very long time

[00:02:17] Till the rains from heaven did fall

[00:02:23] And little Sir John sprung up his head

[00:02:30] And so amazed them all

[00:02:36] They've let him stand till midsummer's day

[00:02:41] Till he looked both pale and wan

[00:02:50] And little Sir John's grown a long, long beard

[00:02:57] And so become a man

[00:03:24] They've hired men with the scythes so sharp

[00:03:30] To cut him off at the knee

[00:03:36] They've rolled him and tied him by the way

[00:03:42] Serving him most barbarously

[00:03:49] They've hired men with the sharp pitchforks

[00:03:53] Who pricked him to the heart

[00:04:01] And the loader he has served him worse than that

[00:04:07] For he's bound him to the cart

[00:04:35] They've wheeled him around and around the field

[00:04:41] Till they came unto a barn

[00:04:46] And there they made a solemn oath

[00:04:53] On poor John Barleycorn

[00:04:58] They've hired men with the crab-tree sticks

[00:05:03] To cut him skin from bone

[00:05:11] And the miller he has served him worse than that

[00:05:17] For he's ground him between two stones

[00:05:44] And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl

[00:05:51] And he's brandy in the glass

[00:05:56] And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl

[00:06:02] Proved the strongest man at last

[00:06:08] The huntsman, he can't hunt the fox

[00:06:12] Nor so loudly to blow his horn

[00:06:20] And the tinker he can't mend kettle nor pot

[00:06:27] Without a little Barleycorn
