Verse 1
Am 
G 
Last night as I lay dreamin'
E 
Am 
Of pleasant days gone by
Me mind been bent on ramblin'
C 
To Ireland I did fly
G 
Am 
I stepped on board the vision,
C 
Bm 
G 
and I followed with the well,
Am 
G 
Till at last I came to an chor
E 
Am 
at the cross at Spansol Hull.
G 
Twas on the twenty -third of June,
Em 
Am 
the day before the fair,
When Isle and sons and daughters
C 
G 
and friends assembled there,
Am 
The young, the old,
the brave and the bold,
C 
Came their duties to fulfil,
G 
Em 
Am 
G 
fell at the parish church at Cluny,
E 
Am 
a mile from Spansol.
G 
I stopped to see the neighbours,
E 
Am 
to hear what they might say.
The old ones were all dead and gone
C 
G 
And the young ones torn and grey
Am 
I met the teller quickly
C 
G 
He's as bold as ever still
Em 
Am 
G 
I used to mend me britches
E 
Am 
When I lived on Spansol Hill
G 
I paid a flying visit
Em 
Am 
With my first and only love
She's as white as any lily
C 
G 
And as gentle as a dove
Am 
She flung her arms around me
C 
G 
Saying, Jimmy, I love you still
Em 
Am 
G 
As she's now the farmer's daughter
E 
Am 
and the pride of Spansol Hill
G 
I crept, I held and kissed her
Em 
Am 
as in the days of yore
Oh Jimmy, you're only joking
C 
as many's a time before
G 
Am 
But the cock he crowed in the mornin'
C 
G 
He crowed both loud and shrill
Am 
G 
I awoke in California,
Bm 
Am 
Am 
many miles from Spancil Hill.
G 
Am 
Am 
G 
Am 
G 
Am 
Am 
You
