Verse 1
G 
Oh, who will plow the fields all day,
D 
and who will thrash the corn?
G 
Who will tend the sheep now,
D 
G 
and see them weakly shorn?
C 
The stock that's in the haggard
G 
and thrashed it may remain
D 
Now that
G 
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
C 
G 
D 
Johnny, is sailing o 'er the mainway
Em 
C 
Along with the other patriots to fight the
D 
King of
G 
C 
D 
C 
D 
G 
Spain.
The boys will surely miss him when
D 
many more comes around,
G 
Em 
And the weep that their bold captain
D 
C 
D 
G 
is nowhere to be found.
C 
And the peelers may stand idle all
G 
D 
against their will and name,
Em 
C 
Since the gallant boy who gave them work now peels
D 
G 
C 
G 
D 
G 
Em 
G 
a king's spade.

G 
At wakes and turning matches,
D 
your light will never cease
G 
Em 
D 
Till you come back to us again,
C 
Astor,
D 
Grahil, or
G 
Bheem
C 
Then won't you thrash the buckets
G 
D 
that show us such disdain
Em 
C 
Because our eyes are not so
D 
bright as those you see in
G 
C 
D 
C 
D 
G 
C 
D 
Spain
C 
D 
G 
If cruel fate should not allow our
Johnny to return
D 
G 
His heavy loss we
D 
G 
Bantry girls will never cease to mourn
C 
We'll resign ourselves to our sad
G 
D 
lot and live in grief and pain
Since
Em

Johnny died for freedom's sake in the
