Methe recites the lyrics from John Barley corn: "with harrows strong they combed him, the burst clods upon his head/ a joyful banquet then was made, when barleycorn was dead." the others are confused. one explains: the spirit of the harvest. john barleycorn. beer- the song is about beer. Methe says: maybe.
