[스크랩] John Barleycorn (Must Die) - Traffic

There were three men came out of the West Their fortunes for to try,
And these three man made a solemn vow, John Barleycorn must die.

They've plowed, they've sown, they've harrowed him in, Thrown clods upon his head,
And these three men were satisfied John Barleycorn was dead.

They've let him lie for a very long time, 'Til the rains from Heaven did fall,
And little Sir John sprung up his head And so amazed Them all.

They've let him stand 'til Mid-Summer's Day 'Til he looked both pale and wan,
And little Sir John's grown a long, long beard And so become a man.

They've hired men with their scythes so sharp, To cut him off at the knee,
They've rolled him and tied him by the waist, serving him  most barb" rously.

They've hired men with their sharp pitchforks, Who pricked him to the Heart,
And the Loader' hi has served him worse than that, For he's bound him to the cart.

They've wheeled him around and around a field, 'Til they came unto a barn,
And there They made a solemn Oath, On poor John Barleycorn.

They've hired men with their crab-tree sticks To cord him skin from bone,
And the miller,he has served him worse than that, For he's ground him between two stones.
And little Sir John and the nutbrown bowl, And his brandy in the glass,
And little Sir John and the nutbrown bowl, Proved the strongest man at last.

The Huntsman, he can't hunt the fox Nor so loudly to blow his horn
And the tinker,he can't mend krttle nor pots Without a little Barleycorn.
