Last night as I [Bb] lay dreaming of pleasant [C] days gone by,
My mind being bent on rambling, [Eb] to Ireland I [Bb] did fly.
I [Cm] stepped on board a [Gm] vision, and [Eb] I followed [Bb] with the [Dm] wind,
[Gm]
Till [C] first I [Bb] came to wanker at the cross [Fm] at [C] Spansol Hill.
It being on the [Gm] twenty [Bb]-third of June, the day before the [C] fair,
When Ireland's sons and daughters [D]
[Eb] and friends [Bb] assembled there,
[C] The young, the old, the brave and the bold [Eb] came their duty to [Bb] fulfil,
At [Cm] the parish church [Bb] near Cluny, a mile from [F]
[Cm] Spansol Hill.
I went to see [Bb] my neighbours, to see what they [Cm] might say,
The old ones were all dead and [Eb] gone, the young ones [Bb] turning grey.
I [Cm] met the tailor Quigley, [Eb] he's as bold as [Bb]
ever still,
He [Cm] used to mend [Bb] my britches when I lived in [Cm] Spansol Hill.
[Bb]
[Cm] I took a flying [Bb] visit to my one and only [D] love,
[Cm]
She's as white as any lily, [Gm]
[Eb] as gentle [Bb] as a dove.
[F] She threw [Cm] her arms around me, [D]
[Eb] saying, Johnny, I love [Bb] you still.
She is [Cm] now the
[Bb] farmer's daughter, the bride of [Cm]
Spansol Hill.
I dreamt I [Bb] held and kissed her, as in the days [Cm] of old,
Saying, Johnny, you're only joking, [Eb] as many the [Bb] time before.
But [Cm] the cock he grew in the morning, [D]
[Eb] he grew both loud [Bb] and shrill.
I [Cm] awoke in
[Bb] California, many miles [F] from [Bb]
[Cm] Spansol Hill.
