The Ballad of John Barleycorn

July 14th, 2006

I thought that this site was really neat. It an illustrated set of lyrics for “The Ballad of John Barleycorn”. Here’s a sample:

threemen The Ballad of John Barleycorn

There was three men come out of the West
Their fortunes for to try
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn must die

ploughed The Ballad of John Barleycorn

They ploughed, they sowed, they harrowed him in
Throwing clods all on his head
And these three men made a solemn vow
John barleycorn was Dead.
