Thanks for that link...
but the Juice of Barley and Juice of the Barley are two very different songs and tunes...

which has caused no end of misunderstandings in thhis poor little thread. LOL

lyrics sung by Rose Ensemble

Come, and doe not musing stand
if thou the truth discerne
But take a full cup in thy hand,
and thus begin to learne-
Not of the earth, nor of the ayre,
at evening or at morne-
But joviall boyes your Christmas keep,
with the little Barly-Corne.

"Twill make a weeping widow laugh,
and soon incline to pleasure;
"Twill make an old man leave his staffe,
and dance a youthfull measure:
And though your clothes be ne'er so bad,
and ragged, rent and torne,
Against the cold you may be clad
with the little Barly-Corne.

"Twill make a miser prodigall,
and shew himself kind hearted;
"Twill make him never grieve at all,
that from his coyne hath parted;
"Twill make a shepard to mistake
his sheepe before a storme;
"Twill make the poet to excel;
this little Barley-Corne.

it is the neatest serving man
to entertain a friend;
It will doe more than money can
all jarring suits to end;
There's life in it, and it is here,
'tis here within this cup,
Then take your liquor, doe not spare,
but cleare carouse it up.

the tune is also known as Stingo & Oyle of Barley

You can hear it played by Bare Neccessities on You tube... some folks are dancing to it... under Juice of Barley,
