Spancill Hill Lyrics

The song Spancill Hill is performed by The Corrs in the album named Home in the year 2006 .

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

'Twas on the 23rd of June
The day before the fair
When lreland's sons and daughters
And friends a*sembled 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 gray

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 farmer's daughter
And the pride of Spancill Hill
She was Meg the farmer's daughter
And the pride of Spancill Hill
