spancil hill - the prodigals lyrics

Loading...

last night as i lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by
my mind being bent on rambling to ireland i did fly
i stepped on board a vision and i boarded with a will
at last i came to anchor at the cross at spancil hill.

chorus: yippee-yi-yayyyy,
yippee-yi-yohhhh,
a ghost rider in the sky.

it being on the twenty-third of june the day before the fair
all ireland’s sons and daughters in crowds -ssembled there
the young the old the brave the bold, their duties to fulfill
there were pleasant conversations at the foot of spancil hill.

i went to see my neighbors to see what they might say
the old ones were all dead and gone the young ones turning grey
i met old tailor quigley, he’s as bold as ever still
he used to mend my britches when i lived at spancil hill

i paid a flying visit to me first and only love
she’s as young as any lily and as gentle as a dove
she threw her arms around me saying ‘johnny i love you still’
she’s ned the farmer’s daughter and the pride of spancil hill

i asked her would she marry me 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
i awoke in california, many miles from spancil hill.
