spancil hill - o'hooley & tidow lyrics

Loading...

last night as i lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by
my mind been bents on ramblin’ to ireland i did fly
i stepped on board a vision and followed with the wind
when next i came to anchor at the cross of spancil hill

it bein’ the twenty-third of june, the day before the fair
when ireland sons and daughters in crowds -ssembled there
the young, the old, the brave and the bold, their journeys to fulfill
there was jovial conversation at the cross of spancil hill

and i went to see my neighbors to hear what they might say
but the old ones were all dead and gone and the young ones turnin’ gray
and i met with the tailor quigley, he’s as bold as ever still
he used to make me breeches when i lived in spancil hill

i paid a flying visit to my one and only love
she’s as white as any lily, she’s as gentle as the dove
and she threw her arms around me sayin’ “johnny, i love you still”
she is nell, the farmer’s daughter and the pride of spancil hill

i dreamt i hugged and kissed her as in the days of yore
but she said “johnny you’re only jokin’, as many as the time before”
and the c-ck, he crew in the morning, he crew both loud and shrill
i awoke in california ayy, many miles from spancil hill
