Topic: A corny poll: John Barleycorn vs. Corn Rigs Posted: April 27 2017 at 12:22
A bit of a corny poll, but it's also quite barley. To demonstrate this, below are some lyrics from each, not that I need to as I doubt complaints that this a too apples and oranges comparison despite thematic song differences.
Some lyrics to Corn Rigs:
"Corn rigs and barley rigs and Corn rigs are bonnie I'll not forget that happy night Among the rigs with Annie...."
And from John Barleycorn:
"They laid him in three furrows deep, Laid clods upon his head, Then these three man made a solemn vow John Barleycorn was dead...."
I imagine that Traffic will take this, not that I expect much interest overall, and I like it a lot, but being a fan of the Wicker Man soundtrack, I prefer Corn Rigs (not as famous a song as Willow's Song or Gently Johnny for that matter).
If you prefer another version of the traditional folk song John Barleycorn, feel free to mention it. Fairport Convention and Steeleyespan have both covered John Barleycorn.
