[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.
