《Spancil Hill》歌词

[00:00:00] Spancil Hill - Brier

[00:00:09] Last night as I lay dreaming of pleasant days gone by

[00:00:16] My mind being bent on rambling to Ireland I did fly

[00:00:24] I stepped on board a vision and

[00:00:28] I followed with the wind

[00:00:32] And the next

[00:00:33] I came to anchor at the cross near spancill hill

[00:00:39] T'was on the 23rd June the day before the fair

[00:00:47] When lreland's sons and daughters and friends assembled there

[00:00:55] The young the old the brave

[00:00:58] And the bold their journey's full to pill

[00:01:03] At the parish church at cluney a mile from spancill hill

[00:01:10] I went to see my neighbors to hear what they might say

[00:01:18] The old ones were all dead and gone the young one's turning grey

[00:01:26] I met the tailor quickly he's bold as ever still

[00:01:33] Sure he used to mend my britches when I lived at spancill hill

[00:01:41] I paid a flying visit to my first and only love

[00:01:49] She's fair as any lily and gentle as a dove

[00:01:57] But she threw her arms around me saying Johnny I love you still

[00:02:04] She's met the farmer's daughter and the pride of spancill hill

[00:02:12] I dreamt I held and kissed her

[00:02:16] As in the day of 'ore

[00:02:20] Oh Johnny you're only jokin' as many's the time before

[00:02:27] But the cock he crew in the morning he crew both loud and shrill

[00:02:35] And I awoke in California many miles from spancil hill
