Spancil Hill - Brier[00:00:00]
Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by[00:00:09]
My mind being bent on rambling to Ireland I did fly[00:00:16]
I stepped on board a vision and[00:00:24]
I followed with the wind[00:00:28]
And the next[00:00:32]
I came to anchor at the cross near spancill hill[00:00:33]
T'was on the 23rd June the day before the fair[00:00:39]
When lreland's sons and daughters and friends assembled there[00:00:47]
The young the old the brave[00:00:55]
And the bold their journey's full to pill[00:00:58]
At the parish church at cluney a mile from spancill hill[00:01:03]
I went to see my neighbors to hear what they might say[00:01:10]
The old ones were all dead and gone the young one's turning grey[00:01:18]
I met the tailor quickly he's bold as ever still[00:01:26]
Sure he used to mend my britches when I lived at spancill hill[00:01:33]
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love[00:01:41]
She's fair as any lily and gentle as a dove[00:01:49]
But she threw her arms around me saying Johnny I love you still[00:01:57]
She's met the farmer's daughter and the pride of spancill hill[00:02:04]
I dreamt I held and kissed her[00:02:12]
As in the day of 'ore[00:02:16]
Oh Johnny you're only jokin' as many's the time before[00:02:20]
But the cock he crew in the morning he crew both loud and shrill[00:02:27]
And I awoke in California many miles from spancil hill[00:02:35]
