[00:11.40] | Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by |
[00:19.17] | Me mind being bent on rambling to Ireland I did fly |
[00:28.28] | I stepped on board a vision and I followed with a will |
[00:36.45] | Till next I came to anchor at the cross of Spancill Hill |
[00:46.33] | It being on the 23rd of June, the day before the fair |
[00:47.92] | |
[00:57.23] | When Ireland's sons and daughters and friends assembled there |
[01:06.10] | The young, the old, the brave and the bold came their duty to fulfill |
[01:14.41] | At the parish church at Cluney a mile from Spancill Hill |
[01:23.48] | |
[01:25.93] | I went to see me neighbors to see what they might say |
[01:34.44] | The old ones were all dead and gone, the young one's turning grey |
[01:42.80] | But I met with the tailor Quigley, he's as bold as ever still |
[01:51.13] | Ah, he used to make me britches when I lived in Spancill Hill |
[02:00.29] | |
[02:37.91] | I paid a flying visit to my first and only love |
[02:46.56] | She's as white as any lily, gentle as a dove |
[02:55.68] | And she threw her arms around me saying "Johnny I love you still" |
[03:04.41] | As she's Nell the farmer's daughter and the pride of Spancill Hill |
[03:13.11] | |
[03:16.27] | I dreamt I held and kissed her as in the days of yore |
[03:24.49] | "Ah, Johnny you're only joking as many's the time before"“ |
[03:33.14] | Then the cock, he crew in the morning, he crew both loud and shrill |
[03:41.92] | I awoke in California, many miles from Spancill Hill. |
