[00:12.09]Oh, who will plough the fields now
[00:16.14]
[00:17.20]And who will sow the corn
[00:21.38]
[00:22.51]And who will watch the sheep now
[00:27.54]
[00:28.10]And keep them from all harm
[00:32.16]
[00:33.35]And the stack that's in the haggard
[00:38.72]Unthreshed it may remain
[00:43.02]
[00:44.08]Since Johnny, lovely Johnny
[00:48.94]
[00:49.57]Went to fight the king of Spain
[00:53.81]
[00:55.06]Oh, the girls of the Banóg
[01:00.62]In sorrow may retire
[01:05.04]
[01:05.74]And the piper and his bellows
[01:11.29]May go home and blow the fire
[01:15.91]
[01:16.59]Since Johnny, lovely Johnny
[01:21.58]
[01:22.74]Went sailing over the main
[01:26.49]
[01:27.60]Along with other patriots
[01:33.16]To fight the king of Spain
[01:37.40]
[01:39.03]The boys will sorely miss him
[01:43.39]
[01:44.14]When Moneymore comes round
[01:48.38]
[01:49.57]And grieve that their bould captain
[01:54.00]
[01:54.57]Is nowhere to be found
[01:59.43]
[02:00.37]And the peelers must stand idle
[02:05.67]Against their will and grain
[02:09.79]
[02:10.91]Since the valiant boy who gave them work
[02:16.46]Now peels the king of Spain
[02:20.71]
[02:21.96]At wakes and hurling matches
[02:26.45]
[02:27.26]Your likes we'll never see
[02:31.63]
[02:32.69]'Till you come back again to us
[02:38.12]
[02:38.81]Mo storeen óg mo chroi
[02:43.36]And won't you trounce the buckeens
[02:48.66]Who show us much disdain
[02:52.54]
[02:53.60]Because our eyes are not as bright
[02:59.40]As those you meet in Spain
[03:03.83]
[03:05.01]Oh, if cruel fate should not permit
[03:10.45]Our Johnny to return
[03:14.50]
[03:15.75]His awful loss we Bantry girls
[03:21.17]Will never cease to mourn
[03:25.55]
[03:26.35]We'll resign ourselves to our sad lot
[03:31.85]And die in grief and pain
[03:36.05]
[03:37.17]Since Johnny died for Ireland's pride
[03:42.97]In the sunny land of Spain
