brier - spancil hill lyrics

Loading...

last night as i lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by
me mind being bent on rambling, to ireland i did fly
i stepped on board a vision, and i followed with a will
’til next i came to anchor at the cross at spancil hill

it being on the 23rd of june, the day before the fair
when ireland’s sons and daughters and friends -ssembled there
the young, the old, the brave and the bold came, their duty to fulfill
at the parish church in clooney, a mile from spancil hill

i went to see me neighbors, to see what they might say
the old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning gray
but i met the tailor quigley, he’s as bold as ever still
ah, he used to mend me britches when i lived in spancil hill

i paid a flying visit to my first and only love
she’s as white as any lily, gentle as a dove
and she threw her arms around me saying, “johnny, i love you still”
as she’s nell the farmer’s daughter and the pride of spancil hill

i dreamed i held and kissed her as in the days of yore
ah johnny, you’re only jokin’, as many’s the time before
then the c-ck, he crew in the morning, he crew both loud and shrill
i awoke in california, many miles from spancil hill
