Here you go

Oh (E) who will plough the fields now
And who will sow the (B7)corn
And (E)who will watch the sheep now
(A)And (E)keep them (B7)from all (E)harm
And the stack that's in the haggard
Unthreshed it may re(B7)main
Since(E)Johnny lovely Johnny
(A)Went to (E)fight the (B7) King of (E)Spain

Do you need the dots?
KJ

This song is supposed to date back to the Peninsular War.
Looking for 19th C. or older lyrics.

This one according to Jimmy Crowley:

O-oh (E) who will (G#m) plough the (C#m) fields now

and (E) who will (C#m) sell the (Bsus4) corn

(B7) and (E) who will (G#m) watch the (C#m) sheep now

and (E) keep them (B7) neatly (E) shorn.

And the stack that's (C#m) in the (A) hag- (E) gard

un- (A) threshed it (G#m) will re- (F#m) main

(B7) since (E) Johnny (G#m) went a- (C#m) threshing

all (E) in the (B7) wars of (E) Spain.
