Thrash the barley, thrash the barley,
Thrash the barley, thrash it well.

My father is going to marry me off
Thrash the barley, thrash it well
He's giving me to a rascal
Pull here, pull there

He's giving me to a rascal
Thrash the barley, thrash it well
Who never gave me a thing
Pull here, pull there

Who never gave me a thing
Thrash the barley, thrash it well
But if he continues in that
Pull here, pull there

But if he continues in that
Thrash the barley, thrash it well
He will be soundly beaten
Pull here, pull there
