Last [Am] night as I lay [G] dreaming of pleasant days [Am] gone by
My [Am] mind been bent on rambling to [C] Ireland I did [G] fly
I [Am] stepped on board a vision and I [C] travelled with a [G] will
Till at [Am] last I came to [G] anchor at the cross of Spancil [Am] Hill
{c: }
It was [Am] on the twenty [G] third of June, the day before the [Am] fair
When [Am] Ireland's sons and daughters were [C] all assembled [G] there
The [Am] young, the old, the brave and the bold, their [C] duty to ful-[G]fill
At the [Am] parish church in [G] Clooney a mile from Spancil [Am] Hill
{c: }
I [Am] went to see my [G] neighbours to see what they might [Am] say
The [Am] old ones were all dead and gone the [C] young ones turning [G] grey
I [Am] met the tailor Quigly, he's as [C] bold as ever [G] still
Sure he [Am] used to make my [G] britches when I lived in Spancil [Am] Hill
{c: }
I [Am] paid a flying [G] visit to my first and only [Am] love
She's as [Am] fair as any lily and as [C] gentle as a [G] dove
She [Am] threw her arms around me saying [C] "Johnny I love you [G] still"
Sure she's [Am] Ned the farmer's [G] daughter and the pride of Spancil [Am] Hill
{c: }
I [Am] dreamt I held and [G] kissed her as in the days of [Am] yore
She said [Am] "Johnny, you're only joking as [C] many's the time be-[G]fore"
The [Am] cock crew in the morning, it [C] crew both loud and [G] shrill
And I [Am] awoke in Cali-[G]fornia many miles from Spancil [Am] Hill
[Am] [Em] [Am]
