       Am                  G                  Am         Em              Am
Last  night as I lay  dreaming,of pleasant days gone  by
                                     Em              C                   G
My mind being bent on rambling,to  Ireland I did  fly,
    Am                                             C                         G
I  stepped on board a vision, and  followed with a  wind,
          Am                    G                   Am                Em      Am
Till the next I came to anchor at the cross near Spancil  Hill,

           Am                               G           Am       Em        Am
T'was on the twenty third of June,the day before the fair,
                                         Em                    C                            G
When Ireland's sons and daughters,and friends assembled there,
       Am                                                C                           G
The young, the old, the brave, the bo came their duty to fill,
           Am                       G             Am             Em      Am
At the parish Church at Clooney,a mile from Spancil Hill.

  Am                     G                    Am            Em             Am
I went to see me neighbours to hear what they might say,
                                     Em                          C                              G
The old one's were all dead and gone,the young one's turning grey,
  Am                                          C                    G
I met the tailor Quigley,he's as bold as ever still,

Sure he used to mend my britches when I lived in Spancil Hill.

I paid a flying visit to my first and only love,
                            Em       C                G
She's fair as any lilly as gentle as a dove,
       Am                                                    C                          G
She threw her arms around me saying "Johnny I love you still"
