the corrs - spancill hill
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 followed with a will
till next i came to anchor
at the cross near spancill hill.
it was on the 23rd of june,
the day before the fair
when ireland's sons and daughters
and friends assembled there,
the young, the old, the brave, the bold
came their duty to fill,
at the perish church at cluney,
just a mile from spancill hill.
i went to see me neighbours
to hear what they might say,
the old ones were all dead and gone,
the young ones turning grey,
i met the tailor quigley, he's bold as ever still,
sure he used to mend my britches
when i lived at spancill hill.
i paid a flying visit to my first and only love,
she's fair as any lilly and gentle as a dove,
she threw her arms around me
saying "johnny i love you still",
she was meg the farmer's daughter,
and the pride of spancill hill
