1
Last night as I lay dreamin'
2
Of pleasant days gone by
3
Me mind bein' bent on travelin'
4
To Ireland I did fly
5
I stepped aboard a vision
6
And followed with my will
7
'Til next I came to anchor
8
At the cross near Spancil Hill
9
Delighted by the novelty
10
Enchanted with the scene
11
Where in my early boyhood
12
Where often I had been
13
I thought I heard a murmur
14
And think I hear it still
15
It's the little stream of water
16
That flows down Spancil Hill
17
It being the 23rd of June
18
The day before the fair
19
Where Ireland's sons and daughters
20
In crowds assembled there
21
The young, the old, the brave and the bold
22
They came for sport and kill
23
There were jovial conversations
24
At the cross near Spancil Hill
25
I went to see my neighbours
26
To hear what they might say
27
The old ones were all dead and gone
28
The others turning grey
29
I met with tailor Quigley
30
He's as bold as ever still
31
Sure he used to make my britches
32
When I lived in Spancil Hill
33
I paid a flying visit
34
To my first and only love
35
She's white as any lily
36
And gentle as a dove
37
She threw her arms around me
38
Saying Johnny I love you still
39
She's Meg the farmers daughter
40
And the pride of Spancil Hill
41
I dreamt I stooped and kissed her
42
As in the day of 'ore
43
She said Johnny you're only joking
44
As many the times before
45
The c*** crew in the morn'
46
He crew both loud and shrill
47
And I woke in California
48
Many miles from Spancil Hill
