Oh, who [E] will plough [F#m] the fields [E] now, _
[A] And who will sell [Bm] the [E] corn?
[A] Oh, who [E] will wash [F#] the sheep [E] now, _
[A] And have them [D] nicely shorn?
The [A] stag that's [Bm] in the [A] haggard, _
[D] _ [F#m] Untrashed it may [Bm] remain,
_ [E]
Since Johnny went [A] to thrashing [E] _
The [A] cruel King [D] of Spain.
_ [B] _
_ _ [E] _ [A] The [E] girls from [F#m] the [E] baño _ [A] In sorrow may [D] retire,
_ _ [A] And the [E] piper and his bellows [A] May go home and blow [D] the fire.
_ For Johnny, [A]
lovely [Bm] Johnny, [E] _ Is [F#m] selling [Bm] all the men,
[A] Along with [F#m] other [E] patriots, [A] To fight the King [D] of Spain.

[E] _ _ _ [A] At [E] wakes of hurling matches, [A] Your like will never [Bm] see,
_ [A] Till you [E] come back [F#] to us again, [A] _ Astor in [D] Ogmogli.
_ _ And [A] won't you trounce [Bm] the boggins, [D] That show [F#m] us much [Bm] _ [E] disdain?
[A] Because [E] our [F#] eyes are not as bright, [A] As those you'll meet [D] in Spain.
_ _ [E] If _ _
[A] cruel [E] fate [F#m] should not [E] permit [A] Our Johnny to [Bm] _ return,
_ [A]
His heavy [F#] loss, we Bantry girls, [A]
Will never cease [D] to mourn.
We'll resign [A] as [Bm] to our [B] sad lot, [D]
And [C#m] die in grief [Bm] and pain, _
[A] For Johnny [C#m] _ [F#m] fought for [E] Ireland's pride, [A] In the foreign land of [D] Spain. _ _
