Текст песни Paddy Reilly — Spancil Hill + аккорды для гитары
Вступление CAPO 3 Am G Am Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by Am 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 will Am G Em Am Til next I came to anchor at the cross in Spancil Hill Am G Em Am It being on the twenty-third of June the day before the fair Am C G When Irelands sons and daughters and friends assembled there Am C G The young, the old, the brave and the bold came their duty to fulfill Am G Em Am At the parish church in Clooney, a mile from Spancil Hill Am G Em Am Delighted by the novelty, enchanted by the scene. Am C G Where in me early boyhood where often I had been. Am C G I thought I heard a murmur and I think I hear it still. A G Em Am It's the little stream of water that flows down Spancil Hill. Am G Am I went to see me neighbours to see what they might say Am C G The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning grey Am C G I met with the tailor Quigley, he's as bold as ever still A G Em Am Sure, he used to make me britches when I lived at Spancil Hill Am G Am I paid a flying visit to my first and only love Am C G She's as white as any lily, and as gentle as a dove Am C G She threw her arms around me, saying Johnny I love you still A G Em Am She's Ned, the farmer's daughter and the pride of Spancil Hill Am G Em Am I dreamt I knelt and kissed her as in the days of yore Am C G She said Johnny you're only joking as many the time before Am C G The cock he crew in the morning, he crew both loud and shrill A G Em Am When I awoke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill
