about

A tale about dreaming of past memories, which resonates deeply in my soul.

lyrics

Last night as I lay dreaming
Of pleasant days gone by
Me mind being bent on ramblin'
To Ireland I did fly
I stepped on board a vision
And follow'd with a will
Till the first I came to anchor at
The cross at Spancil Hill

It was on the twenty-third of June
The day before the fair
When Ireland's sons and daughters
And friends assembled there
The young, the old, the brave, the bold
Their duty to fulfill
At the parish church near Clooney
A mile from Spancil Hill

I went to see my neighbours
To see what they might say
The old ones were all 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 my first and only love
She's as fair as any lily
As gentle as a dove
She threw her arms around me
Saying "Johnny, i love you still"
She was Meg, the farmer's daughter
The pride of Spancil Hill

Well I dreamt I held and kissed her
As in the days of old
Saying, "Johnny, you're only joking
As many the times before"
Then the cock, he crew in the morning
He crew both loud and shrill
I awoke in California
Many miles from Spancil Hill
