Verse 1
Am
G
Em
G
Am
Last night
G
as I lay dreaming
Em
G
Am
Of pleasant days gone by
Me mind being bent on rambling
C
G
To Ireland I declined
Am
I stepped on board a pigeon
C
G
and I followed with a will
Am
G
And the next I came to Eintracht,
Em
G
Am
across at Spanserville
G
Em
It'd on the 23rd of Jun e,
G
Am
the day before the fair
When Ireland's sons and daughters
C
G
and friends assemble there
Am
The young, the old,
the brave and the bold,
C
G
their duties to fulfill
Am
G
At the parish church at Cluny,
Em
G
Am
a mile from Spanson Hill
G
I went to see my neighbours
Em
G
Am
to hear what they might say
The old ones were all dead and gone,
C
G
the young ones turning grey
Am
I met with the tailor quickly,
C
G
he's as bold as ever still
Am
G
For he used to mend my britches
Em
G
Am
when I lived out at Spansville Hill
G
Em
I'd pet a flying pheasant too,
G
Am
my first and only love
She's as white as any lily
C
G
and as gentle as a dog
Am
Well, she threw her arm around me,
C
G
saying, Johnny, I love you still
Am
G
Oh, she's met the farmer's daughter
Em
G
Am
and the bride of Spenser Hill
G
Em
I dreamt I held and kissed her
G
Am
like in the days of yore
Oh Johnny, you're only joking,
C
G
like many's a time before
Am
For the cock,
he crew in the morning,
C
G
he crew both loud and true
Am
G
Em
And I awoke in California,
G
twenty miles from Spancil
Am
G
Em
G
Hill
Am
Hey!
