Lyrics Hey John Barleycorn - Freshlyground

Hey John Barleycorn!, O John Barleycorn! (Repeated In Background)
John Barleycorn Is A Hero Bold As Any In The Land!
His Fame Has Stood For Ages Good And Evermore Shall Stand!
The Whole Wide World Respects Him No Matter Friend Or Foe!
And Where They Be That Makes Too Free He's Sure To Lay Them Low!
Hey John Barleycorn!, O John Barleycorn!
Old And Young His Praise Is Sung! John Barleycorn!
To See Him In His Pride Of Growth His Robes Are Rich And Green!
His Head Is Speared With Goodly Beard Fit Nigh To Serve A Queen!
And When The Harvest Time Comes 'Round And John Is Stricken Down
He'll Use His Blood For England's Good And Englishmen's Renown!
Hey John Barleycorn!, O John Barleycorn!
Old And Young His Praise Is Sung John Barleycorn!
The Lord In Courtly Castle Tall, The Squire In Stately Hall
The Great Of Name, Of Birth And Fame On John For Succour Call!
He Bids The Troubled Heart Rejoice, Gives Warmth To Nature's Call!
Makes Weak Men Strong And Old Men Young And All Men Brave And Bold!
Hey John Barleycorn!, O John Barleycorn!
Old And Young His Praise Is Sung John Barleycorn!
Hey John Barleycorn!, O John Barleycorn! (Repeated In Background)
John Barleycorn Is A Hero Bold As Any In The Land!
His Fame Has Stood For Ages Good And Evermore Shall Stand!
The Whole Wide World Respects Him No Matter Friend Or Foe!
And Where They Be That Makes Too Free He's Sure To Lay Them Low!
Hey John Barleycorn!, O John Barleycorn!
Old And Young His Praise Is Sung! John Barleycorn!
Hey John Barleycorn!, O John Barleycorn! (John Barleycorn!)
Old And Young His Praise Is Sung! John Barleycorn!
Hey John Barleycorn!, O John Barleycorn! (John Barleycorn!)
