Christy Moore Spancil Hill Lyrics

Bm A Bm
L ast night as I lay drea ming of pleasant days gone b y
Bm D A
M y mind being bent on rambling to Ire land I did f ly
Bm D A
I stepped on board a vision and I fol lowed with the w ind
Bm A Bm
A nd I shortly came to an chor at the cross of Spa ncil Hill

It being the 23rd of June the day before the fair
When lreland's sons and daughters all a__embled there
The young and the old, the brave and the bold their journey to fulfill
But the little church in Cloony a mile from Spancil Hill

I went to see my neighbors to see what they would say
The old ones were all dead and gone and the young one's turning grey
I met with tailor Quigley, he's as bould as ever still
Sure he used to make my britches when I lived in Spancil Hill

I paid the fly and visit to my first and only love
She's as fair as any lily and as gentle as a dove
She threw her arms around me saying "Johnny I love you still

" Oh she's Ned the rangers 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 as many's the time before"
The c___ crew in the morning he crew both loud and shrill
And I awoke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill.
