about
Spancil Hill is an old Irish song, revived by Celtic Seamus and Kurt Studios
lyrics
Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by
Me mind been bent on rambling, to Ireland I did fly
I stepped on board a vision and followed with my will
Till at last I came to anchor at the cross near Spancil Hill
It being on the 23rd June a day before the fair
When lreland's sons and daughters n friends assembled there
The young, the old, the brave and the bold with their duty to fulfill
There were jovial conversations at the fair of Spancil Hill
I went to see my neighbors to hear what they might say
The old ones were all dead and gone and the young one's turning grey
I met the tailor Quigley, he's a bould as ever still
Shor 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 white as any lily and as gentle as a dove
She threw her arms around me crying "Johnny I love you still
" Oh she's Ned the farmers daughter and the flower of Spancil HiII
I dreamt I held and kissed her as in the days of yore
She said, "Johnny you're only joking like many's a time before"
The cock he crew in the morning he crew both loud and shrill
And I awoke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill.
