They swore that he must die,

and plowed him underground,

lifting up his head in Spring,

he stood and looked around.

Grew strong in summer sun

he did, till it began to wane,

when he, drooping, withering

with age, was set upon again.

They cut him down and flayed him

bare, with holly sticks and stones,

then ground his flesh and boiled

over scorching flames his bones.

They took his blood then shared

It round and sang his praise in joy,

“John Barleycorn, our hero,

we toast your health old boy.”

“You make us all forget our

woes, and heighten all our bliss.

With glass in hand we raise

it to your everlastingness.”
