Spancill Hill (史班赛山) - Cruachan[00:00:00]
Last night as I lay dreaming[00:00:16]
Of pleasant days gone by[00:00:21]
Me mind been bent on rambling[00:00:26]
To Ireland I did fly[00:00:30]
I stepped on board a vision[00:00:35]
And followed with a will[00:00:39]
Till next I came to anchor[00:00:44]
At the cross near Spancill Hill[00:00:48]
Delighted by the novelty[00:00:54]
Enchanted with the scene[00:00:58]
Where in me early boyhood[00:01:03]
Often I had been[00:01:08]
I thought I heard a murmur[00:01:12]
And I think I hear it still[00:01:16]
It's the little stream of water[00:01:22]
That flows down Spancill Hill[00:01:27]
To amuse a passing fancy[00:01:31]
I lay down on the ground[00:01:36]
And all my school companions[00:01:41]
They shortly gathered round[00:01:45]
When we were home returning[00:01:50]
We danced with bright goodwill[00:01:55]
To Martin Moynahan's music[00:02:00]
At the cross at Spancill Hill[00:02:04]
It was on the 24th of June[00:02:09]
The day before the fair[00:02:14]
When Ireland's sons and daughters[00:02:18]
And all assembled there[00:02:23]
The young the old the brave the bold[00:02:28]
Came their duty to fulfil[00:02:33]
At the little church in Clooney[00:02:36]
A mile from Spancill Hill[00:02:42]
I went to see me neighbours[00:02:47]
To see what they might say[00:02:51]
The old ones they were dead and gone[00:02:56]
The young ones turning grey[00:03:01]
I met the tailor Quigley he was bold as ever still[00:03:05]
Sure he used to make my britches[00:03:14]
When I lived at Spancill Hill[00:03:19]
I paid a flying visit to me first and only love[00:03:24]
She's as fair as any lilly and gentle as a dove[00:03:33]
She threw her arms around me[00:03:43]
Crying Johnny I love you still[00:03:47]
She was a farmer's daughter[00:03:52]
The pride of Spancill Hill[00:03:57]
Well I dreamt I hugged and kissed her[00:05:17]
As in the days of yore[00:05:22]
She said Johnny you're only joking[00:05:26]
As many the times before[00:05:31]
The cock crew in the morning[00:05:36]
He crew both loud and shrill[00:05:41]
And I awoke in California[00:05:45]
Many miles from Spancill Hill[00:05:50]
