Our take on the traditional tune.

lyrics

Its of an old country farmer, living in the west Country
And He had the prettiest little wife you ever did see
The young men came a courting when he wasn’t nigh
And oft times they’d take a tumble in the barley and the rye

The old man in the morning he found himself alone
We he looked out the window and saw his wife midst the corn
A young man lay beside her the old man he did cry
Saying wife wife oh how could you cause the spoiling of the rye

Inst verse

Oh husband my poor husband this like I n’er done afore
But if you’ve got just one friend I’ve a dozen more
I will not desert you if them you would employ
We’ll have plenty of love and money for the barley and the rye

The barley and the rye (Repeat)
