The Barley Barn Song..........Ballad
1.
Oh we have done ploughin` the fields
an` put the ol`horse to his bed,
we have hung the sickle up
we`ll have some fun instead.
Chorus
Come all ye fayre lassies oh
there be jiggin` at the farm,
so pick up your skirts and we`ll have some fun
in the barley barn.
2.
Ol` Tom he plays the fiddle oh
and Jenny can sing a faire song,
so take off yer boots and put on yer clogs
and we`ll jig the whole night long.
Chorus
Come all ye fayre lassies oh
there be jiggin` at the farm
so pick up your skirts, and we`ll have some fun
in the barley barn.
3.
So fetch that flagon of cyder Oh
from the apple pickin`s bail,
we`ll roast a pigling on the fire
and the wenches brewed some ale.
Chorus
Come all ye fayre lassies Oh
there be jiggin` at the farm,
pick up your skirts, and we`ll have some fun
in the barley barn.
4.
Our Ole farmer has some tricks
a hidden up his sleeve,
if we dont arise early next morn`.
he`ll bid one and all to leave.
Chorus.
So come all ye fayre lassies Oh
there be jiggin` at the farm,
pick up your skirts, and we`ll have some fun
enjoy life while we can.
