<pre><font size='+2'>JOHN BARLEYCORN lyrics FAIRPORT CONVENTION</font><br>There were three men come out of the west, their fortunes for to try<br />
And these three men made a solemn vow, John Barleycorn would die<br />
They`ve ploughed, they`ve sown, they`ve harrowed, thrown clods upon his head<br />
Till these three men were satisfied John Barleycorn was dead<br />
<br />
(Chorus)<br />
There`s beer all in the barrel and brandy in the glass<br />
But little Sir John, with his nut-brown bowl, proved the strongest man at last<br />
<br />
They`ve let him lie for a long long time till the rains from heaven did fall<br />
And little Sir John sprang up his head and so amazed them all<br />
They`ve let him stand till midsummer`s day and he looks both pale and wan<br />
Then little Sir John`s grown a long long beard and so become a man<br />
<br />
(Chorus)<br />
(Chorus)<br />
<br />
They`ve hired men with the sharp-edged scythes to cut him off at the knee<br />
They`ve rolled him and tied him around the waist, treated him most barbarously<br />
They`ve hired men with the sharp-edged forks to prick him to the heart<br />
And the loader has served him worse than that for he`s bound him to the cart<br />
<br />
So they`ve wheeled him around and around the field till they`ve come unto a barn<br />
And here they`ve kept their solemn word concerning Barleycorn<br />
They`ve hired men with the crabtree sticks to split him skin from bone<br />
And the miller has served him worse than that for he`s ground him between two stones<br />
<br />
(Chorus)<br />
(Chorus)<br />
<br />
And the huntsman he can`t hunt the fox nor loudly blow his horn<br />
And the tinker he can`t mend his pots without John Barleycorn<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/john_barleycorn_lyrics-fairport_convention.html" target='_blank'>JOHN BARLEYCORN lyrics FAIRPORT CONVENTION</a></pre>

There were three men come out of the west, their fortunes for to try
And these three men made a solemn vow, John Barleycorn would die
They`ve ploughed, they`ve sown, they`ve harrowed, thrown clods upon his head
Till these three men were satisfied John Barleycorn was dead

(Chorus)
There`s beer all in the barrel and brandy in the glass
But little Sir John, with his nut-brown bowl, proved the strongest man at last

They`ve let him lie for a long long time till the rains from heaven did fall
And little Sir John sprang up his head and so amazed them all
They`ve let him stand till midsummer`s day and he looks both pale and wan
Then little Sir John`s grown a long long beard and so become a man

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

They`ve hired men with the sharp-edged scythes to cut him off at the knee
They`ve rolled him and tied him around the waist, treated him most barbarously
They`ve hired men with the sharp-edged forks to prick him to the heart
And the loader has served him worse than that for he`s bound him to the cart

So they`ve wheeled him around and around the field till they`ve come unto a barn
And here they`ve kept their solemn word concerning Barleycorn
They`ve hired men with the crabtree sticks to split him skin from bone
And the miller has served him worse than that for he`s ground him between two stones

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

And the huntsman he can`t hunt the fox nor loudly blow his horn
And the tinker he can`t mend his pots without John Barleycorn
