Spancill Hill Lyrics - Home - The Corrs

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 next I came to anchor at the cross near Spancill Hill 

T'was on the 23rd June the day before the fair 

When Ireland's sons and daughters and friends assembled there 

The young, the old, the brave, the bold came their duty to fill 

At the parish church at Cluney just a mile from Spancill Hill 

I went to see my neighbors to hear 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 bold as ever still 

Sure he used to mend my britches when I lived at Spancill Hill

I paid a flying visit to my first and only love 

She's fair as any lily and gentle as a dove 

She threw her arms around me saying "Johnny I love you still" 

She was Meg the farmers daughter and the pride of Spancill Hill 

She was Meg the farmers daughter and the pride of Spancill Hill
