    • Verse 1
    Oh, 
    who 
    will 
    plow 
    the 
    fields 
    all 
    day, 

    and 
    who 
    will 
    thrash 
    the 
    corn? 

    Who 
    will 
    tend 
    the 
    sheep 
    now, 

    and 
    see 
    them 
    weakly 
    shorn? 

    The 
    stock 
    that's 
    in 
    the 
    haggard 

    and 
    thrashed 
    it 
    may 
    remain 

    Now 
    that 

    Johnny's 
    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, 
    is 
    sail
    ing 
    o 
    'er 
    the 
    mainway 

    Along 
    with 
    the 
    other 
    patriots 
    to 
    fight 
    the 

    King 
    of 

    Spain. 

    The 
    boys 
    will 
    surely 
    miss 
    him 
    when 

    many 
    more 
    comes 
    around, 

    And 
    the 
    weep 
    that 
    their 
    bold 
    captain 

    is 
    nowhere 
    to 
    be 
    found. 

    And 
    the 
    peelers 
    may 
    stand 
    idle 
    all 

    against 
    their 
    will 
    and 
    name, 

    Since 
    the 
    gallant 
    boy 
    who 
    gave 
    them 
    work 
    now 
    peels 

    a 
    king's 
    spade. 


    At 
    wakes 
    and 
    turning 
    matches, 

    your 
    light 
    will 
    never 
    cease 

    Till 
    you 
    come 
    back 
    to 
    us 
    again, 

    As
    tor, 

    Grahil, 
    or 

    Bheem 

    Then 
    won't 
    you 
    thrash 
    the 
    buckets 

    that 
    show 
    us 
    such 
    dis
    dain 

    Because 
    our 
    eyes 
    are 
    not 
    so 

    bright 
    as 
    those 
    you 
    see 
    in 

    Spain 


    If 
    cruel 
    fate 
    should 
    not 
    allow 
    our 

    Johnny 
    to 
    return 

    His 
    heavy 
    loss 
    we 

    Bantry 
    girls 
    will 
    never 
    cease 
    to 
    mourn 

    We'll 
    resign 
    ourselves 
    to 
    our 
    sad 

    lot 
    and 
    live 
    in 
    grief 
    and 
    pain 

    Since 

    Johnny 
    died 
    for 
    freedom's 
    sake 
    in 
    the 

    Forum 
    land 
    of 

    Spain

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
