John Barleycorn

Return to Lyrics -::- Print Friendly Version

This is an old English Folk song, about the making of Whiskey - which gives it some credibility in MY eyes! It personifies the barley used in the production as enduring sundry torments and indignities on it's way to the bottle - but it's all in a good cause! John Barleycorn must die to make our spirits - so, raise a glass to old John, eh!
