[Verse 1] AmGAm Last night as I lay dreaming,of pleasant days gone by, CG Me mind being bent on rambling,to Ireland I did fly, AmCG I stepped on board a vision,and followed with a will, AmGAm Till the first I came to anchor at the cross at Spancil Hill.
[Verse 2] AmGAm Twas on the 23rd of June, the day before the fair CG When Irelands sons and daughters and friends assembled there AmCG The young,the old the brave the bold, their duty to fulfil AmGAm At the parish church near Clooney,a mile from Spancil Hill
[Verse 3] I went to see me neighbours to see what they might say The old ones were all dead and gone, they 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
[Verse 4] I paid a flying visit to my first and only love She's as fair as any lily and as gentle as a dove she through her arms around me, saying Johnny I love ye still She was Meg the farmers daughter and the pride of Spancil Hill
