Description
I was listening to the song on a CD my friend gave me and decided I would do a piece on it.
Oh, Who will plough the fields now or who will sow the corn?
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
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
And the peelers must stand idle, 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 Spain

Mouth expressions on V3 is difficult, especially after you morphed their face to kingdom-come, but I'm still not ready to swtich to V4.
And stupid ground shadows. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I even turn off all the lights, just make one and shine it directly down.. nada. Sigh

Very sad. If you've taken the morph dials as far as they'll go you could always cheat and give her some tears in Photo Shop or something.
