There were three men came out of the West
Their fortunes for to try
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn must die

They've ploughed, they've sewn, they've harrowed him in
Threw clouds upon his head
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn was dead

They've let him lie for a very long time
Till the rains from heaven did fall
And little Sir John sprung up his head
And so amazed them all

They've let him stand till midsummer's day
Till he looked both pale and wan
And little Sir John's grown a long, long beard
And so become a man

They've hired men with the scythes so sharp
To cut him off at the knee
They've rolled him and tied him by the way
Serving him most barbarously

They've hired men with the sharp pitchforks
Who pricked him to the heart
And the loader he has served him worse than that
For he's bound him to the cart

They've wheeled him around and around the field
Till they came unto a barn
And there they made a solemn oath
On poor John Barleycorn

They've hired men with the crab-tree sticks
To cut him skin from bone
And the miller he has served him worse than that
For he's ground him between two stones

And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl
And he's brandy in the glass
And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl
Proved the strongest man at last

The huntsman, he can't hunt the fox
Nor so loudly to blow his horn
And the tinker he can't mend kettle nor pot
Without a little Barleycorn
Céad slán ag sléibhte maorga Chontae Dhún na nGall
Agus dhá chéad slán ag an Eireagal ard ina stua os cionn caor is coll;
Nuair a ghluais mise thart le Loch Dhún Lúich’ go ciúin sa ghleann ina luí
I mo dhiaidh bhí gleanntáin ghlas’ Ghaoth Dobhair, is beag nár bhris mo chroí.

Ag taisteal dom amach trí chnoic Ghleann Domhain ’s an Mucais ar mo chúl
Ní miste dom ’ rá le brón ’s le crá gur frasach a shíl mise siúl;
Go Meiriceá siar a bhí mo thriall i bhfad thar an fharraige mhór;
D’fhág mé slán ar feadh seal ag Dún na nGall is ag gleanntáin ghlas’ Ghaoth Dobhair.

Níorbh é mo mhiansa imeacht ariamh ó mo thír bheag dhílis féin
Ach trom lámh Gall, le cluain 's le feall, a thiomáin mé i gnéill
B'é rún mo chroíse pilleadh arís, nuair a dhéanfainn beagán stór
'S deireadh mo shaoil a chaitheamh lem ghaoil,
fá Ghleanntáin Ghlas' Ghaoth Dobhair.

Slán! Slán go fóill, a Dhún na nGall, a chontae shéimh gan smál,
Is do d’fheara breáth’ in am an ghá nár úmhlaigh riamh roimh Ghall;
Tá áit i mo chroí do gach fear is gach mnaoi is gach páiste beag agus mór
Atá beo go buan gan bhuairt gan ghruaim fá ghleanntáin ghlas’ Ghaoth Dobhair.
