[D] There were three men came out of the west, their fortunes for to try
And these three men made a solemn vow, John Barleycorn should die
[F] They ploughed, they [A] sowed, they harrowed him, and threw [Bb] clods upon his head
[Dm] And these three men made a solemn vow, John Barleycorn [D] was dead
Then they let him lie for a very long time, till the rain from heaven did fall
But little Sir John sprung up his head and so amazed them all
[Dm] Then they let [G] him lie till the midsummer [Dm] come, till he looked both pale [D] and womb
But little Sir John he drew a long beard and so became a man
[Dm] [D] Then they hired men with a scythe so sharp to cut him half at the knee
[Dm] They rolled him and tied him by [D] the waist and served him fervently
[F] Then they hired men [C] with a sharp pickspock [Dm] to prick him to [G] the heart
[Dm] But the lowly served him well, so not for he bound [D] him into the cart
[E]
They wheeled him around and around in the field till he came into the barn
[Dm] Then these three men [D] made a solemn vow, poor John Barleycorn
Then they hired men with a crappy [Dm] stick to cut his skin from [D] bone
But the miller served him well, so not for he ground him between two stones
[Dm]
[F] [D] [G] Here's to little [D] Sir John in a nut-brown bowl and brandy in the glass
[Dm] And to little Sir John in a nut-brown bowl gives a stronger man [D] a glass
For the hunter he can't hunt the fox nor loudly blow his horn
[Dm] And the ticker he [D] can't mend kettles or pots without a little old Barleycorn
