The Juice of the Barley(tremolo)

6 -5 5 -4 5 -3 5
In the sweet country Lim’rick,
6 -5 -6 -7 -7 6 -5
one cold winter’s night, all the
5 -4 5 -3 5 6 6 -5
turf fires were burning when I first
5 -5 -4 6 -5 5 -4 5
saw the light; and a drunken old
-3 5 6 -5 -6 -7 -7 -7 -8
midwife went tip-sy with joy, as she
8 -8 -7 -6 6 5 -5
danced round the floor with her slip
5 -5 -4
of a boy

Chorus:
6 -5 5 -4 5 -3 5 6 -7 6
Singing ban-ya-no mo if an-ga-na
6 -5 5 5 5 -5 5 -4 -3
and the juice of the barley for me.

Well when I was a gossoon of eight years old or so with me turf and me
primer to school I did go. To a dusty old school house without any
door, where lay the school master blind drunk on the floor,

Chorus

At the learning I wasn’t such a genius I’m thinking, but I soon bet
the master entirely at drinking, not a wake or a wedding for five
miles around, but meself in the corner was sure to be found,

Chorus

One Sunday the priest read me out from the altar saying you’ll end up
your days with your neck in a halter;
and you’ll dance a fine jig between heaven and hell and his words they
did frighten me the truth for to tell,

Chorus

So the very next morning as the dawn it did break I went down to the
vestry the pledge for to take, and there in that room sat the priests
in a bunch round a big roaring fire drinking tumblers of punch,

Chorus

Well from that day to this I have wandered alone, I’m a jack of all
trades and a master of none, with the sky for me roof and the earth
for me floor, and I’ll dance out my days drinking whiskey galore,

Chorus

The Jolly Beggar

There was a jolly beggarman
3 3 -3 -4 4 -5 -4 -3
Came tripping o’er the plain
3 3 7 7 -7 7 -6*
He came unto a farmer’s door
-5 7 -7 -7 7 6 -6* 7
A lodging for to gain
6 5 -4 -3 3 -4 -3
The farmer’s daughter she came down
3 3 -3 -4 4 -5 -4 -3
And viewed him cheek and chin
3 3 7 7 -7 7 -6*
She says «He is a handsome man
-5 7 -7 -7 7 6 -6* 7
I pray you take him in»
6 5 -4 -3 3 -4 -3

We’ll go no more a roving
3 3 -3 -4 4 -5 -4 -3
A roving in the night
3 3 7 7 -7 7 6
We’ll go no more a roving
-5 7 -8 -7 7 6 -6* 7
Let the moon shine so bright
6 -5 -4 -3 3 -4 -3
We’ll go no more a roving
3 3 -3 -4 4 -5 3

He would not lie within the barn

Nor yet within the byre

But he would in the corner lie

Down by the kitchen fire

O then the beggar’s bed was made

Of good clean sheets and hay

And down beside the kitchen fire

The jolly beggar lay

We’ll go no more a roving

A roving in the night

We’ll go no more a roving

Let the moon shine so bright

We’ll go no more a roving

The farmer’s daughter she got up

To bolt the kitchen door

And there she saw the beggar

Standing naked on the floor

He took the daughter in his arms

And to the bed he ran

Kind sir, she says, be easy now

You’ll waken our goodman

We’ll go no more a roving

A roving in the night

We’ll go no more a roving

Let the moon shine so bright

We’ll go no more a roving

Now you are no beggar

You are some gentleman

For you have stolen my maidenhead

And I am quite undone

I am no lord, I am no squire

Of beggars I be one

And beggars they be robbers all

So you’re quite undone

We’ll go no more a roving

A roving in the night

We’ll go no more a roving

Let the moon shine so bright

We’ll go no more a roving

The Jeely piece song(with lyrics)

A nice wee Glasgow childrens folk song just the first verse and chorus
and done in the glasgow venacular!!!Accent..
Based on true life events.

+4 -4 +5 +5 +5 +5 -4 +5 -5 -5 -5 +5
I’m a skyscraper wean ah live on the nineteenth
-4
flair
+5 -5 -5 -5 +5 -5 +6 +6-5 +5
But A’m not going oot tae play any mair
+5 -6 -6 -6(s)-7 +7 +7 +7 -6 +6 +6
’cause since we moved tae Castlemilk, I’m wastin’
-5+5
away
+5 -5 +5-4 -5 +5-4 -5 +5-4 +4
‘Cause I’m gettin’ wan less meal every day.

chorus
+4 -4 +5+5 +5 +5+5 -4 +5 -5-5 -5+5
Oh ye cannae fling pieces oot a twenty storey
-4
flat
-5-5 -5-5 -5-5 +5 -5 +6+6+6 -5 +5
Seven hundred hungry weans’ll testify, to that.
+5 +5 -6-6 -6 -6 +7+7 +7 -6 +6 +6
If it’s butter, cheese or jeely, if the breid is
+6 -5 +5
plain or pan,
+5 -5-5 +5 -4(s)-5-5 +5(s) -4 -5-5
The odds against it reaching earth are ninety-
+5 -4 +4
nine tae wan.

On the first day ma maw flung oot a daud o’ Hovis broon;
It came skytin’ oot the windae and went up insteid o’ doon.
Noo every twenty-seven hoors it comes back intae sight
‘Cause ma piece went intae orbit and became a satellite.

On the second day ma maw flung me a piece oot wance again.
It went and hut the pilot in a fast low-flying plane.
He scraped it aff his goggles, shouting through the intercom,
‘The Clydeside Reds huv giat me wi’ a breid-an-jeely bomb’.

On the third day ma maw thought she would try another throw.
The Salvation Army band was staundin’ doon below.
‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’ was the piece they should’ve played,
But the oompah man was playing a piece an’ marmalade.

We’re wrote away to Oxfam to try an’ get some aid,
An’ a’ the weans in Castlemilk have formed a ‘piece brigade’.
We’re gonnae march to George’s Square demanding civil rights
Like nae mair hooses over piece-flinging height.

And sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair
For making up underwear
Poor little greenie

He’s so simple minded, he can’t drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in a capsule
Loves to be loved, loves to be loved

Don’t stop that mus-ic it’s jazz man jazz man
