[Lyric] Spancil Hill (Derina Harvey Band)

[Verse 1]
Last night as I lay dreamin' of pleasant days gone by
Me mind been bent on ramblin' to Ireland I did fly
I stepped on board a vision and I followed with a will
I soon came to anchor at the cross at Spancil Hill

[Verse 2]
It was on the twenty third of June the day before the fair
Where Ireland's sons and daughters were all assembled there
The young, the old, the brave the bold their duty to fulfill
At the little church in Clooney a mile from Spancil Hill

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I went to see me' neighbors just to see what they might say
Thе old ones were all dеad the young ones turnin' grey
I met with Tailor Quigley, he's as bold as ever still
Sure he used to make me breeches when I lived in Spancil Hill

[Verse 3]
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love
She's as white as any lilly and as gentle as a dove
She threw her arms around me sayin', "Johnny, I love you still!"
Sure she's the farmer's daughter the pride of Spancil Hill
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I hugged and kissed her as in the days of yore
She said, "Johnny, you're only jokin' as often times before!"
The cock crew in the mornin' he crewed both loud and shrill
Now you walk in California many miles from Spancil Hill
