The Barley-Mow Song
(SUFFOLK VERSION.)
[THE peasantry of Suffolk sing the following version of the Barley-Mow Song.]
HERE’S a health to the barley mow!Here’s a health to the manWho very well canBoth harrow and plow and sow!
When it is well sownSee it is well mown,Both raked and gavelled clean,And a barn to lay it in.He’s a health to the manWho very well canBoth thrash and fan it clean!
