Oh Who will plough the fields now
Or who will sow the corn
And who will mind the sheep now
And keep them neatly shorn
The stack that's in the haggard
Unthrashed it may remain
Since Johnny's went a-thrashing
The dirty king of Spain
Bantry Girls Lament - Joanie Madden
The girls from the bawnogue in sorrow may retire
And the piper and his bellows go home
And blow the fire
Since Johnny
Lovely Johnny is sailing o'er the main
Along with other patriots to fight the King of Spain
The boys will surely miss him
When Moneymore comes round
And they'll find that their bold captain
Is nowhere to be found

All against their will and main
Since the gallant boys who gave
Them work now peels the King of Spain
At wakes or hurling matches your like we'll never see
Till you come back to us again
A stor gra geal mo chroi
And won't you thrash the buckeens
That show us much disdain
Because our eyes are not so
Bright as those you'll meet in Spain
If cruel fate will not permit our Johnny to return
His heavy loss we Bantry girls will never cease to mourn
We'll resign ourselves to our
Sad lot and die in grief and pain
Since Johnny died for Ireland's pride
In the foreign land of Spai
