SPANCIL HILL
2
Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by
3
My mind being bent on rambling to Ireland I did fly
4
I stepped on board a vision and I followed with the wind
5
And I shortly came to anchor at the cross of Spancil Hill
6
It being the 23rd June the day before the fair
7
When lreland's sons and daughters in crowds assembled there
8
The young and the old, the brave and the bold their journey to fulfill
9
There were jovial conversations at the fair of Spancil Hill
10
I went to see my neighbors to hear what they might say
11
The old ones were all dead and gone and the young one's turning grey
12
I met with the tailor Quigley, he's a bould as ever still
13
Sure he used to make my britches when I lived in Spancil Hill
14
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love
15
She's as white as any lily and as gentle as a dove
16
She threw her arms around me saying "Johnny I love you still
17
" Oh she's Ned the farmers daughter and the flower of Spancil HiII
18
I dreamt I held and kissed her as in the days of yore
19
She said, "Johnny you're only joking like many's the time before"
20
The cock he crew in the morning he crew both loud and shrill
21
And I awoke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill.
