Spancil Hill - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]
Written by:Trad Arr Byrne/Nagle/Warfield[00:00:00]
Last night as I lay dreamin'[00:00:02]
Of pleasant days gone by[00:00:06]
Me mind bein' bent on travelin'[00:00:11]
To ireland I did fly[00:00:15]
I stepped aboard a vision[00:00:19]
And followed with my will[00:00:23]
'Til next I came to anchor[00:00:28]
At the cross near spancil hill[00:00:31]
Delighted by the novelty[00:00:36]
Enchanted with the scene[00:00:41]
Where ireland's sons and daughters[00:00:46]
In crowds assembled there[00:00:50]
The young the old the brave and the bold[00:00:54]
They came for sport and kill[00:00:58]
There were jovial conversations[00:01:03]
At the cross near spancil hill[00:01:07]
I went to see my neighbours[00:01:12]
To hear what they might say[00:01:16]
The old ones were all dead and gone[00:01:21]
The others turning grey[00:01:25]
I met with tailor quigley[00:01:29]
He's as bold as ever still[00:01:34]
Sure he used to make my britches[00:01:38]
When I lived in spancil hill[00:01:42]
I paid a flying visit[00:01:56]
To my first and only love[00:02:00]
She's white as any lily[00:02:05]
And gentle as a dove[00:02:09]
She threw her arms around me[00:02:13]
Saying johnny I love you still[00:02:17]
She's meg the farmers daughter[00:02:22]
And the pride of spancil hill[00:02:27]
I dreamt I stooped and kissed her[00:02:31]
As in the day of 'ore[00:02:36]
She said johnny you're only joking[00:02:40]
As many the times before[00:02:44]
The cock crew in the morn'[00:02:48]
He crew both loud and shrill[00:02:53]
And I woke in california[00:02:57]
Many miles from spancil hill[00:03:02]
