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 followed with the wind
Till at last I came to anchor at the cross of Spancil Hill

It was on the 23rd of June the day before the fair
When lrelands sons and daughters and friends assembled there
The young and the old, the brave and the bold their duty to fulfill
At the parish church near Cluny at the cross of Spancil Hill

I went to see my neighbors to see what they might say
The old ones were all dead and gone, the young one's turning grey
I met the tailor Quigley, he's as bold as ever still
Sure he used to make my britches when I lived in Spancil Hill

I paid a flying visit to my first and only love
She's as white as any lily and gentle as a dove
She threw her arms around me saying "Johnny I love you still
She's Nell the farmer’s daughter and the pride of SpancilHiII

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
And I awoke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill.
