Verse 1
(G major) Oh, who will plow the fields all day,
and who will thrash the corn? (D major)
Who (G major) will tend the sheep now,
and see them weakly (D major) shorn? (G major)
The stock that's in the (C major) haggard
and thrashed (G major) it may remain
(D major) Now that
Johnny's (G major) gone a -thrashing,
all in the wars in
Spain
The girls from the bonnock
in sorrow may retire
And the piper with his bellows may
go home and blow the fire.
For
Johnny, lovely
Johnny, (C major) is sail (G major) ing o 'er the (D major) mainway
Along (E minor) with the other patriots (C major) to fight the
(D major) King of
(G major) Spain. (C major) (D major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
The boys will surely miss him when
many more comes around, (D major)
And the (G major) weep that their bold (E minor) captain
(D major) is (C major) nowhere to (D major) be (G major) found.
And the peelers may stand (C major) idle all
against (G major) their will and (D major) name,
Since the (E minor) gallant boy who gave (C major) them work now peels
a (D major) king's (G major) spade. (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (E minor) (G major)
(C major) (Dsus4) (G major)
At wakes and turning matches,
your light will never cease (D major)
Till you (G major) come back to us (E minor) again, (D major)
As (C major) tor,
Grahil, (D major) or
(G major) Bheem
Then won't you thrash the (C major) buckets
that show (G major) us such disdain (D major)
Because (E minor) our eyes are (C major) not so
bright as those you see (D major) in
(G major) Spain (C major) (D major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(C major) (D major) (G major)
If cruel fate should not allow our
Johnny to return
(D major) His (G major) heavy loss we
Bantry girls will never cease (D major) to (G major) mourn
We'll resign ourselves to our (C major) sad
lot and (G major) live in grief and pain (D major)
Since
(E minor) Johnny died for freedom's (C major) sake in the
Forum land (Dsus4) (D major) of
(G major) Spain (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) (D major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (C major)
(D major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(E minor) (G major) (C major) (Dsus4) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (E minor) (G major) (C major) (Dsus4) (D major) (G major) (C major) (Dsus4) (D major) (C major)
(D major) (G major) (E minor) (D major) (Dsus4) (D major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
