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 I followed with the wind Till first I came to anchor at the cross at Spancil Hill It was on the 23rd of June The day before the fair Where Ireland's sons and daughters and friends assembled there The young, the old the brave and the bold came their duty to fulfil At the parish church near Clooney many miles from Spancil Hill I went to see my neighbours to see what they might say The old ones were all dead and gone the young ones turning grey I met with tailor Quigley, he's as bold as ever still He used to mend my britches when I lived in Spancil Hill I took a flying visit to my one and only love She's as fair as any lily and as gentle as a dove She threw her arms around me, saying "Johnny, I love you still" She is Megs, the farmer's daughter and the pride of Spancil Hill I dreamt I held and kissed her as in the days of yore She said, "Johnny, you're only joking as many's the time before" The cock, he crew in the morning, he crew both loud and shrill I awoke in California many miles from Spancil Hill
