Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Barley Grain
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: THE BARLEY GRAIN
Interesting...

Not that I'm a professional at this, but the chorus sounds like a derivative of "Juice of the Barley" using nonsense instead of the original. Is the tune for "The Barley Grain" similar, or does the resemblance stop at the chorus? I can't quite fit the line into the tune as I know it, but that doesn't mean that the properly inebriated would have a problem.
