_ _ _ _ _ Last night as I lay [Bb] _ dreaming of _ [C] pleasant days gone _
[Cm] _ by
Me mind being bent [Fm] on [Ab] _ rambling to Ireland [Bbm] I did fly _ _ _
[Cm] I stepped on _ board a _ vision and [F] followed _ [Bb] with the will
_ _ [Cm] When next I came to [Bb] _ anchor at a cross [G] of _ [Cm] Spencil Hill
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Delighted by the _
[Bb] novelty, _ _ _ [C] enchanted by [Cm] the scene
_ Where in my early _ _ boyhood [D] so often I [Bbm] had been
_ I [Cm] thought I _ heard a _ murmur and I [Eb] think I _ [Bb] hear it still _
It's [C] that [Ab] little stream [C] of _ water that flows down _ Spencil Hill
[Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Being on the twenty [Bb]-third of June, the day [C] _ before the [Cm] fair _ _
When _ Ireland's sons and _ _ daughters in _ crowds [Eb] _
[Bb] assembled there
_ _ [Cm] The young, the old, the brave and the bold, [Eb] their duty to [Bb] fulfil
_ At [Cm] the _ parish church [Bb] of _ _ Cluny, a mile [G] from Spencil [Cm] Hill _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I went to see [Bb] my _ neighbours, _ to hear [C] what they [Cm] might say _
The old ones were all dead and [Gm] gone [Eb] and the young ones stern [Bb] and grey
_ _ [Cm] I met the tailor quickly, _ he's as bald as [Bb] ever still
_ [Cm] Sure he used to make [G] my bridges [Bb] _ when I _ [C] lived in _ [Cm] Spencil Hill _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I paid a flying [Bb] _ visit to my first and [Cm] only love
_ _ She's as fair as any _ _ [Eb] lily and _ gentle as [Bb] a dove _
She [Cm] threw her arms around me [Gm] saying, Johnny I love [Bb] you still
_ Ah [Cm] she's Nell, the _ [Bb] farmer's _ daughter, the pride [C] of Spencil [Cm]
Hill
_ I _ _ _ _ _ _ dreamed I [Bb] held and kissed her as in [Fm] the _ [Cm] days of yore
_ She said, Johnny you're only _ _ joking, as [Eb] many as the [Bb] time before
_ _ Le [Cm] Coq, he crew in the _ morning, he crew [Eb] both [G] loud [Bb] and shrill _
I [Cm] awoke in _ [Bb] _ _
California, _ many miles [Fm] from _ [Bb] [Cm] Spencil Hill _ _ _ _
