_ _ Last night [G] as I [Bb] lay dreaming of pleasant [C]
days gone _ by,
Me mind been bouncing, rumbling, _ [Gm] so early in the day to [Ab] fly.
[C] _
I stepped on born of vision _ and [Bb] I followed _ with a will,
_ [G] Till next I came [Bb] to anchor at the cross [C] near Sponsor Hill. _ _ _
[Gm] Delighted by a [Bb] _ novelty, _ _ [C] enchanted by a sin, _ _
Where in my _ _ _ [G] _ _
Leviathan, _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ it's the [C] _
[G] stream of [Bb] _ water that flows [Eb] down.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
[Cm] Some years of passing fancy, [Bb] _
I laid [Eb] down on the [Cm]
ground.
_ And all my school _ companions, _ [Eb] they shortly gathered [Fm] round.
_ [Cm] _ When we were home at first, _ _ we [Eb]
danced with [Fm] bright good _ will,
[G]
At the [Cm] march of _ [Dm] Moynihan's [Bb] music at the cross [Eb] at Sponsor [Cm]
Hill.
It'd been on the _ _ [Bb] 23rd of June, the day [Eb] before,
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ When our little sons and _ daughters [Eb] are all assembled [Cm] there. _
The young, the old, the brave, the bold, [Am] [Eb] their duty to [Fm] fulfill,
_ At [Cm] the little _ church in [Bb] Trudy, a mild [Eb] response [C] for me.
_ I went to see me _ [Bb] neighbors, to see [Eb] what they might [C] say. _ _
The old ones, they were dead and gone, the young ones torn and gray.
_ _ I met the tailor quickly, _ he's as bald as ever [Fm] still.
_ [C] Sure he used to make me [Bb] britches when [F] I lived [C] at Sponsor Hill. _
I paid a flying [Bb] visit to [F] my first [C] and only love.
_ She was fair and sweet and many, and as gentle as a dove.
_ She'd throw her arms around me, crying, telling I [Fm] love you still.
[C] But she was a _ barber's [F] daughter, the pride of [C] Sponsor Hill.

_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
went and I held and [Bb] kissed her, as in [C] the days of yore.
_ She said, Johnny, you're only _ joking, [Gm] as many as the time [Cm] before.
_ The cop crew in the morning, _ [Bb] he crew both loud and shrill.
And I _ [G] walked in _ _ [Bb] California, _ many miles [C] from Sponsor Hill. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
