The Barley Mow lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Spoken)
Ye hear, you boys
Can he drink out the gallon?

(Sung)
Here's a good health to the barley mow
The gallon, the quart, the pint
The half-pint, quarter-pint
Nipperkin, and a brown bowl
And merrily pass it around brave boys
Here’s a good health to the barley mow!

[Verse 2]
(Spoken)
But can he drink out the flagon?

(Sung)
Here's a good health to the barley mow
The flagon, the gallon, the quart, the pint
The half-pint, quarter-pint
Nipperkin, and a brown bowl
And merrily pass it around brave boys
Here's a good hеalth to the barley mow!

[Verse 3]
(Spoken)
Can hе drink out of a firkin?
(Sung)
Here’s a good health to the barley mow
The firkin, the flagon
The gallon, the quart, the pint
The half-pint, quarter-pint
Nipperkin, and a brown bowl
And merrily pass it around brave boys
Here's a good health to the barley mow!

[Verse 4]
(Spoken)
Eh, can he drink out the barrel?

(Sung)
Here's a good health to the barley mow
The barrel, the firkin, the flagon
The gallon, the quart, the pint
The half-pint, quarter-pint
Nipperkin, and a brown bowl
And merrily pass it around brave boys
Here's a good health to the barley mow!

[Verse 5]

Can he drink out of a hogshead, then?

The hogshead, the barrel, the firkin
The flagon, the gallon, the quart, the pint
The half-pint, quarter-pint

And merrily pass it around brave boys

Haha, can he drink out the tun, then?

The gallon, the quart, the pint
The half-pint, quarter-pint
