AmGEmAm Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by AmCG Me mind being bent on rambling to Ireland I did fly AmCG I stepped on board a vision and I followed with the wind AmGEmAm And I shortly came to anchor at the cross of Spancil Hill
AmGEmAm It was on the 3rd of June the day before the fair AmCG When Ireland's sons and daughters were all assembled there AmCG The young the old the brave the bold their duty to fulfill AmGEmAm At the little church in Cluney a mile from Spancil Hill
I went to see me neighbors to see what they would say The old ones they were dead and gone the young ones turning grey I met with tailor Quigley he's as bold as ever still Sure he used to make me britches when I lived in Spancil Hill
I paid a flying visit to me first and only love She is fair as any lily and gentle as a dove She threw her arms around me saying Johnny I love you still Oh she's Mick the ranger's daughter and the pride of Spancil Hill
I dreamt I held and kissed her as in the days of yore She said Johnny you're only joking as many's the time before The cock crew in the morning he crew both loud and shrill And I awoke in California many miles from Spancil Hill
