quilty - spancil 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 i followed with the
wind
and i shortly came to anchor at the cross of spancil
hill
it being the 23rd june the day before the fair
when lreland’s sons and daughters in crowds -ssembled
there
the young and the old, the brave and the bold their
journey to fulfill
there were jovial conversations at the fair of spancil
hill
i went to see my neighbors to hear what they might say
the old ones were all dead and gone and the young one’s
turning grey
i met with the tailor quigley, he’s a bould as ever
still
sure he used to make my 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 and as gentle as a dove
she threw her arms around me saying “johnny i love you
still
” oh she’s ned the farmers daughter and the flower of
spancil hiii
i dreamt i held and kissed her as in the days of yore
she said, “johnny you’re only joking like many’s the
time before”
the c-ck he crew in the morning he crew both loud and
shrill
and i awoke in california, many miles from spancil
hill.
