Greeting y'all,

Need words to John Barleycorn to tune of 'We plough the fields & scatter the good seed on the land'


Chorus I remember goes,

"Hey John Barleycorn,
Ho John Barleycorn
Old & young thy praises sung,
John Barleycorn'

Thanks in advance,

Mr H

I posted a version of Hey John Barleycorn from 'The Tale of Ale', sung by Robin Dransfield, in this thread a couple of years back.

You ought to know how to use the search engine by now, "Happy".

The Songwainers set John Barleycorn to We Plough the Fields: Barleycorn (Songwainers)

They didn't use the chorus you remember, though. Susanne has given you a link for that.
