Tonart: D minor
Verse 1
Am
There were three men
come out of the west,
their fortunes for to try,
And these three men
made a solemn vow,
John Barleycorn should die.
E
They ploughed, they sowed,
Am
they harrowed him in,
C
Am
Em
Threw cloths upon his head,
E
Am
And these three men
made a solemn vow,
John Barleycorn was dead.
Then they let him lie for a very long time
C
Am
till the rain from heaven did fall.
Then little Sir John sprang up his head
G
Am
and soon amazed them all.
Bb
Am
They let him stand till midsummer,
C
Am
Em
E
till he looked both pale and worn.
Am
And little Sir Johnny grew a long beard
and so became a man.
They hired men with the size of a shop
to cut him off at knee.
They rolled him and tied
E
Am
him by the waist,
And served him barbarously.
Bb
Am
They hired men with sharp -edged forks,
C
Am
C
Who pricked him to the heart,
Am
And the loader he served
him worse than that,
For he bound him to the cart.
They wheeled him round
and round the field,
Till they came unto a barn,
And there they made a solemn vow,
Of poor John Barleycorn.
Bb
E
Em
E
Am
C
They hired men with crabtree sticks,
Am
Em
To cut him skin from bone,
Am
And the miller he served him all
worse than that,
For he'd ground him between
two stones.
Here's little Sir John in a nut -brown bow,
And Brandy in a glass.
And little Sir John in the nut -brown bow,
Proved the stronger man at last.
And the huntsman,
he can't hunt the fox,
C
Am
Em
Nor so loudly blow his horn.
he can't mend kettles or pots,
Without a little John Barley corn.
