| Info: The Bantry Girls Lament Who will plow the field now, and who will sow the corn Who will wash the sheep now, and keep them neatly shorn The stack that's in the haggard, un-touched it may re-main Since Johnny went a-thrashing all in the wars of Spain CHORUS: Johnny, lovely Johnny, he's sailing o'er the main A-long with other patriots, to fight the King of Spain And the girls from the bawn-oag in sorrow may re-tire The piper and his bellows, (may) go home and blow the fire At fairs and hurling matches, your likes we seldom see Till you come home a-gain to us, a-storeen oag mo cree And a cruel fate will not permit our Johnny to re-turn His heavy loss, we Bantry girls will never cease to mourn We re-sign ourselves to our sad lot, and die in grief and pain Johnny died for freedom's sake in the foreign lands of Spain NOTES: - Gaelic phrases are spelled phonetically - Haggard: a threshing yard - Ba/no/g: a green patch of ground (Ireland?) - Mi/an fhomhair: harvest month - Asto/iri/n o/g mo chroi: little young treasure of my heart Recorded by The Clancy Brothers, Tunes & Tales (Folk Era, FE-2061, 1988) | |
