Last night as I [A] lay dreaming of pleasant days [Bm] gone by
May mine been bent on [D] rambling to Ireland I [A] did fly
I [Bm] stepped on board a vision [D] and I followed with [A] the wind
When [Bm] next I came [A] to anchor at the cross on [Bm] Spansel Hill
Then on the [A] twenty-third of June, the day before [Bm] the fair
When Ireland's sons and [D] daughters and friends [A] assembled there
The [Bm] young and the old, the brave and the [D] bold, came their duty to [A]
fulfil
At [Bm] the parish church [A] at Clooney, a mile from [Bm] Spansel Hill
I went to see [A] my neighbours, to see what they [Bm] might say
The old ones were all dead [D] and gone, the young ones torn [A] and grey
[Bm] I met the tailor quickly, he's [D] as bold as [A] ever still
She [Bm] used to make [A] me breeches when I lived on [Bm] Spansel Hill
[A]
[Bm]
I paid a flying [A] visit to my first and [Bm] only love
She's as white as any lily [D] and as gentle [A] as a dove
She [Bm] threw her arms around me saying, [D] Johnny I love [A] you still
She's [Bm] now the [A] farmer's daughter and the pride of [Bm] Spansel Hill
I dreamt I held [A] and kissed her as in the days [Bm] of yore
Johnny you're only joking as many a time [A]
before
[Bm] The cock he crew in the [D] morning, oh he crew both loud and [A]
shrill
I [Bm] awoke in [A] California, ninety miles from [B] Spansel Hill
