lirik lagu paddy reilly - spancil hill
one night as i lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by
my mind was bent on rambling to ireland i did fly
i stepped on a vision and i followed with the wind,
when at last i came to anchor at the cross of spancill hill.
then on the 23rd of june the day before the fair,
when ireland’s sons and daughters and friends -ssembled there.
the young, the old, the brave and the bold came their duty to fulfill
at the parish church in clooney a mile from spancill hill.
i went to see my neighbours, to hear what they might say,
the old ones were all dead and gone, and the young ones turning grey
i met the tailor quigley, he’s as bold as ever still,
sure he used to make my britches when i lived in spancil hill.
i paid a flying visit to my first and only love,
she’s as fair as any lily and gentle as a dove
she threw her arms around me, saying “johnny, i love you still”
ah she’s nell, the farmer’s daughter, the pride of spancil hill
i dreamt i held and kissed her as in the days of yore
“oh johnny you’re only joking, as many’s the time before”
the c-ck he crew in the morning, he crew both loud and shrill,
when i woke in california, many miles from spancil hill.
