There were three men came out of the west, their fortunes for to try And these three men made a solemn vow John Barleycorn must die They've plowed, they've sown, they've harrowed him in Threw clods upon his head And these three men made a solemn vow 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 Midsummer'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 way, serving him most barbarously They've hired men with their sharp pitchforks who've pricked him to the heart And the loader he 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 onto a pond And there they made a solemn oath on poor John Barleycorn They've hired men with their crabtree sticks to cut 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 nut brown bowl and his brandy in the glass And little Sir John and the nut brown 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 kettle or pots without a little barleycorn -----------------------------------------------------
Трех королей разгневал он, И было решено, Что навсегда погибнет Джон Ячменное Зерно.
Велели выкопать сохой Могилу короли, Чтоб славный Джон боец лихой, Не вышел из земли.
Травой покрылся горный склон, В ручьях воды полно, А из земли выходит Джон Ячменное Зерно.
Все так же буен и упрям, С пригорка в летний зной Грозит он копьями врагам, Качая головой.
Но осень трезвая идет. И, тяжко нагружен, Поник под бременем забот, Согнулся старый Джон.
Настало время помирать - Зима недалека. И тут-то недруги опять Взялись за старика.
Его свалил горбаты нож Одним ударом с ног, И, как бродягу на правеж, Везут его на ток.
Дубасить Джона принялись Злодеи по утру. Потом, подбрасывая ввысь, Кружили по ветру.
Он был в колодец погружен, На сумрачное дно. Но и в воде не тонет Джон Ячменное Зерно.
Не пощадив его костей, Швырнули их в костер, А сердце мельник меж камней Безжалостно растер.
Бушует кровь его в котле, Под обручем бурлит, Вскипает в кружках на столе И души веселит.
недаром Был покойный Джон При жизни молодец,- Отвагу подымает он Со дна людских сердец.
Он гонит вон из головы Докучный рой забот. За кружкой сердце у вдовы От радости поет...
Так пусть же до конца времен Не высыхает дно В бочонке, где клокочет Джон Ячменное Зерно!
