Spancill Hill |
Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by |
My mind being bent on rambling to Ireland I did fly |
I stepped on board a vision and followed with the wind |
Till next I came to anchor at the cross near Spancill Hill |
T’was on the 23rd June the day before the fair |
When Ireland’s sons and daughters and friends assembled there |
The young, the old, the brave, the bold came their duty to fill |
At the parish church at Cluney just a mile from Spancill Hill |
I went to see my neighbors to hear what they might say |
The old ones were all dead and gone the young one’s turning grey |
I met the tailor Quigley, he’s bold as ever still |
Sure he used to mend my britches when I lived at Spancill Hill |
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love |
She’s fair as any lily and gentle as a dove |
She threw her arms around me saying «Johnny I love you still» |
She was Meg the farmers daughter and the pride of Spancill Hill |
She was Meg the farmers daughter and the pride of Spancill Hill |
