I stepped on board a vision and I fol lowed with the w ind
Cm Bb Cm
A nd I shortly came to an chor at the cross of Spa ncil Hill
It being the 23rd of June the day before the fair
When lreland's sons and daughters all a**embled there
The young and the old, the brave and the bold their journey to fulfill
But the little church in Cloony a mile from Spancil Hill
I went to see my neighbors to see what they would say
The old ones were all dead and gone and the young one's turning grey
I met with tailor Quigley, he's as bould as ever still
Sure he used to make my britches when I lived in Spancil Hill
I paid the fly and visit to my first and only love
She's as fair as any lily and as gentle as a dove
She threw her arms around me saying "Johnny I love you still
" Oh she's Ned the rangers daughter and the flower of Spancil HiII
I dreamt I held and kissed her as in the days of yore
She said, "Johnny you're only joking as many's the time before"
The c*** crew in the morning he crew both loud and shrill
And I awoke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill.
