[00:00.50]Oh Who will plough the fields now
[00:03.88]
[00:04.95]Or who will sow the corn
[00:08.13]
[00:09.61]And who will mind the sheep now
[00:13.24]
[00:14.38]And keep them neatly shorn
[00:17.48]
[00:19.38]The stack that's in the haggard
[00:22.40]
[00:23.95]Unthrashed it may remain
[00:26.81]
[00:28.78]Since Johnny's went a-thrashing
[00:31.40]
[00:33.12]The dirty king of Spain
[00:36.51]

[00:59.36]The girls from the bawnogue in sorrow may retire
[01:06.45]
[01:08.41]And the piper and his bellows go home
[01:14.00]
[01:14.56]And blow the fire
[01:16.32]
[01:18.26]Since Johnny
[01:18.74]
[01:19.75]Lovely Johnny is sailing o'er the main
[01:25.92]
[01:27.48]Along with other patriots to fight the King of Spain
[01:35.10]
[01:39.37]The boys will surely miss him
[01:42.56]
[01:43.67]When Moneymore comes round
[01:46.93]
[01:48.74]And they'll find that their bold captain
[01:51.65]
[01:52.94]Is nowhere to be found
[01:56.32]
[01:57.79]And the peelers must stand idle
[02:01.32]
[02:02.79]All against their will and main
[02:05.42]
[02:07.56]Since the gallant boys who gave
[02:10.79]Them work now peels the King of Spain
[02:15.11]
[02:38.22]At wakes or hurling matches your like we'll never see
[02:45.74]
[02:47.53]Till you come back to us again
[02:50.96]
[02:52.22]A stor gra geal mo chroi
[02:55.19]
[02:57.23]And won't you thrash the buckeens
[03:00.05]
[03:01.48]That show us much disdain
[03:04.30]
[03:06.38]Because our eyes are not so
[03:09.85]Bright as those you'll meet in Spain
[03:14.00]
[03:18.31]If cruel fate will not permit our Johnny to return
[03:25.56]
[03:27.31]His heavy loss we Bantry girls will never cease to mourn
[03:35.25]
[03:37.04]We'll resign ourselves to our
[03:40.17]Sad lot and die in grief and pain
[03:44.97]
[03:46.40]Since Johnny died for Ireland's pride
[03:50.14]
[03:50.78]In the foreign land of Spai
