[Am]
Last night as I [G] lay dreaming of pleasant [A] days gone by,
My mind being bent on rambling [G]
to Ireland's isle did fly.
[Am] I stepped on [A] board of a vision and [C] I followed [G] with a will,
And [Am] I shortly came [G] to anchor at the cross [Am] of Spansel Hill.
And delighted by [G] the novelty, [A] enchanted by [Am] the sea,
Where in my early boyhood [C] so often I [G] had been,
I [Am] thought I heard a murmur and [C] I think that I [G] hear it still.
[Am] It's the little stream [G] of water that flows [Am] down Spansel Hill.
To amuse a passing [G]
fancy I lay down on [Am] the ground,
Where all my school companions and I [C] shortly [G] gathered round.
[Am] When we were home returning, [C] we just would [G] write goodwill
[A] To Martin [G] Moylan's music at the cross of [Am] Spansel Hill.
It been on the [G] twenty-third of June, the day before [A] the fair,
When [Am] Ireland's sons and daughters [C] in crowds [G] assembled there.
[A] The young, the old, the brave and the bold, [C] they came to sport and [G] to kill.
There [A] were curious [G] combinations at the cross [A] of Spansel Hill.
[Am]
Then I went to see me [G] old members, to hear what they [Am] might say.
The old ones were all dead and gone, and [C] the young ones [G] torn and grey.
I [Am] met with the tailor quickly, [C] his as brimmed as ever [G] still.
Sure [A] he used to mend [G] and make a wretch's, for when I lived in Spansel [Am] Hill.
[F#] Then [A] I paid a [G] flying visit to my first and only [Am] love.
She's white as a millenny, [C] she's gentle [G] as a dove.
[A] She threw [Am] her arms around me, [C] said Johnny I love [G] you still.
Oh [Am] she's my, the [A] [G] ranger's daughter, she's the bride of [Am] Spansel Hill.
I dreamt I [G] stooped and kissed her, as in the days of [Am] yore.
She said Johnny you're only joking, [C] as many as the [G] time before.
[Am] And the cock it crew in the morning, [C] oh it crew but loud [G] and shrill.
[Am] And I walked in [G] California, many miles from [Am] Spansel Hill.
