The Juice of the Barley

Thomascow`s version "The Juice of the Barley" a traditional Irish drinking song from around the mid-19th century. The Clancy Brothers, as well as several other bands have made recordings, and popular dance renditions of the song.
The line in the chorus, "bainne na mbó is na gamhain" is Irish, and translates as "Milk of the cows for the calf." The Irish for milk is "bainne" and the Irish for cow is "bó", the plural being "mBó". The Irish for "calf" is "gamhain". The "is" in this phrase is prouneced as in "this" and is the Irish shortened version of "agus", meaning "and".
