One night as he lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by 
His mind being bent on rambling to lreland he did fly 
he stepped on a vision and he followed with the wind 
when at last he came to anchor at the cross of Spancil Hill 

Then on the 23rd of June the day before the fair 
When Ireland's sons and daughters and 
friends assembled there 
The young and the old, the brave and 
the bold came their duty to fulfill 
At the Parish Church in Clooney a mile from Spancil Hill 

He went to see his neighbours to see how they did fare 
The old ones were all dead and gone 
the young ones turning grey 
He met with tailor Quigley he's as funny as ever still 
Johnny used to patch his britches 
when he lived in Spancil Hill 

He paid a flying visit to his one and only love 
She's as gentle as a puppy and as pretty as a doll 
She threw her arms around me saying 
Johnny I love you still 
Sure she's Ned the farmer's daughter and the pride of Spancil Hill 

He dreamt he held, he kissed her as many a time before 
Oh Johnny you're only joking as many a time before 
The cock he crowed in the morning he crowed 
both clear and shrill 
He awoke in California many miles from Spancil Hill
