Oh [C]who will plough
the fields now
And who will sow the [G]corn
And [C]who will watch the sheep now
And have them [G]nicely [C]shorn
And
the stack that's in the haggard
Unthrashed it may re[G]main
Since [C]Johnny went a trashing
The far off [G]king of
[C]Spain
Oh [C]the girls from the Banóg
In sorrow may re[G]tire
And the [C]piper and his bellows
For Johnny,
lovely Johnny
Went sailing o'er the [G]main
A[C]long with other patriots
To fight the [G]king of [C]Spain
Now
the [C]boys will sorely miss him
When money more comes [G]round
And [C]grieve
that there bold captain
Is nowhere [G]to be [C]found
The peelers must stand idle
Against there will and [G]grain
For
the [C]valiant boy who gave them work
Now fights the [G]king of [C]Spain
Bridge: C-C-G-G F-F-C-C
At [C]wakes
and hurling matches
Your likes we'll never [G]see
Till [C]you come back to us again
Mo stóirín [G]óg mo [C]chroí
And
once you trounce the buckeens
That show us much dis[G]dain
Be[C]cause our eyes are not as bright
As those you'll
[G]find in [C]Spain
Oh if [C]cruel fate should not permit
Our Johnny to re[G]turn
His [C]heavy loss we Bantry
girls
Will never [G]cease to [C]mourn
We'll resign ourselves to our sad lot
And die in grief and [G]pain
Since
[C]Johnny died for Ireland's pride
In the foreign [G]land of [C]Spain
