m y mind being bent on rambling to ire land i did f ly

i stepped on board a vision and i fol lowed with the w

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 -ssembled 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-ck crew in the morning he crew both loud and
shrill
and i awoke in california, many miles from spancil
hill.
