corrs - spancill hill lyrics
last night as i lay dreaming
of pleasant days gone by
my mind being bent on rambling
to ireland i did fly
i stepped on board a vision
and followed with the wind
till next i came to anchor
at the cross near spancill hill
’twas on the 23rd of june
the day before the fair
when lreland’s sons and daughters
and friends -ssembled there
the young, the old, the brave, the bold
came their duty to fill
at the parish church at cluney
just a mile from spancill hill
i went to see my neighbors
to hear what they might say
the old ones were all dead and gone
the young one’s turning gray
i met the tailor quigley
he’s bold as ever still
sure he used to mend my britches
when i lived at spancill hill
i paid a flying visit
to my first and only love
she’s fair as any lily
and gentle as a dove
she threw her arms around me saying
johnny i love you still
she was meg the farmer’s daughter
and the pride of spancill hill
she was meg the farmer’s daughter
and the pride of spancill hill
