Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by,
C G
My mind being bent on rambling, to Ireland I did fly.
Am C G
I stepped on board a vision and followed with the wind,

Till next I came to anchor at the cross near Spancil Hill.

T'was on the 23rd June, the day before the fair,

When lreland's sons and daughters and friends assembled there.
Am C G
The young, the old, the brave, the bold, came their duty to fill,

At the parish church at Cluney, just a mile from Spancil Hill.

I went to see my neighbors to hear what they might say:
C G
The old ones were all dead and gone; the young ones, turning gray.
Am C G
I met the tailor Quigley, he's bold as ever still,
Am G Em Am
Sure he used to mend my britches when I lived at Spancil Hill.

I paid a flying visit to my first and only love.
C G
She's fair as any lily and gentle as a dove.
Am C G
She threw her arms around me saying "Johnny, I love you still".
Am G Em Am
She was Meg, the farmer's daughter and the pride of Spancil Hill.
