Duhks - The Bantry Girls Lament / The Ol' Yellow House lyrics

Oh, who will plough the fields all day And who will thresh the corn Who will tend the sheep now And see them neatly shorn The stack that's in the haggard Unthreshed it may remain Now that Johnnys gone a-threshing All in the wars of Spain The girls down in the Bang In sorrow may retire And the piper with his bellows May go home and blow the fire Now 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 around And theyll weep that their bold captain Is nowhere to be found And the peelers may stand idle All against their will and grain Since the gallant boy who gave them work Now peels the king of Spain At wakes and hurling matches Your like we'll never see 'Till you come back to us again Mo storeen g mo chroi And won't you thresh the buckeens That show us much disdain Because our eyes are not so bright As those youll see in Spain
