about

Traditional.

Arranged with the sounds of a tractor cutting hay (11/08), feedback, harmonium, banjo and voice.

lyrics

Come out, 'tis now September, the hunters' moon's begun,
And through the wheaten stubble is heard a distant gun.
The leaves are paling yellow, and dwindling into red,
And the ripe and bearded barley is hanging down its head.

All among the barley, who would not be blithe
When the ripe and bearded barley is smiling on the scythe.

The spring is like a young man who does not know his mind,
And summer is a tyrant - the most ungracious kind.
The autumn is an old friend, does the best they can,
And brings the bearded barley to glad the heart of man.

The wheat is like a rich man, so sleek and well-to-do,
The oats are like a group of girls, laughing and dancing too,
The rye is like a miser, sulky, lean and small,
And the free and golden barley is mother to them all.
