Spancil Hill - The Dubliners/Davey Arthur[00:00:00]
Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by[00:00:12]
My mind being bent on rambling to Ireland I did fly[00:00:20]
I stepped on board a vision and I followed with a will[00:00:29]
Till next I came to anchor at the cross of Spancil Hill[00:00:37]
It being on the 23rd of June the day before the fair[00:00:49]
When lreland's sons and daughters and friends[00:00:57]
Assembled there[00:01:04]
The young the old the brave and the bold came their[00:01:06]
Duty to fulfill[00:01:12]
At the parish church in Clooney a mile from Spancil[00:01:15]
Hill[00:01:22]
I went to see me neighbors to see what they might say[00:01:27]
The old ones were all dead and gone the young one's[00:01:35]
Turning grey[00:01:42]
But I met the tailor Quigley he's as bould as ever[00:01:44]
Still[00:01:52]
Ah he used to make my breetches when I lived in Spancil[00:01:53]
Hill[00:01:59]
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love[00:02:38]
She's as white as any lily and as gentle as a dove[00:02:47]
And she threw her arms around me saying Johnny I[00:02:55]
Love you still[00:03:03]
Oh she's Nell the farmers daughter and the pride of[00:03:05]
Spancil Hill[00:03:11]
I dreamt I held and kissed her as in the days of yore[00:03:16]
Ah Johnny you're only joking as many's the time[00:03:25]
Before[00:03:32]
Then the cock he crew in the morning he crew both loud[00:03:33]
And shrill[00:03:41]
I awoke in California many miles from Spancil Hill[00:03:42]
