Black Francis - Johnny Barleycorn lyrics

Have you been to the fields? Something there made me afraid Like dying younger If the ground never yields We will feel the hunger Take him out with the seeds Roll him on the barren ground Mix blood and water Do not doubt our every need She will feed Look what we got her Clear the way for Johnny Barleycorn This is the day that surely he will be reborn Bring down the blade on Johnny He shall be the one that will be torn Ringing out the new year Sing out the names of the dead Like Johnny Barleycorn Give him a cheer ("Hey!)" Can you hear the newborn? Clear the way for Johnny Barleycorn This is the day that surely he will be reborn Bring down the blame on Johnny Clear the way for Johnny Barleycorn This is the day that surely he will be reborn Bring down the blame on Johnny He shall be the one that will be torn He shall be the one that will be torn
