Spancil Hill Last night as I lay dreamin' Of pleasant days gone by Me mind bein' bent on rambling To Ireland I did fly I stepped on board a vision and I followed with the wind Till first I came to anchor at The cross at Spancil Hill It being the 23rd of June The day before the fair Where Ireland's sons and daughters And friends assembled there The young, the old The brave and the bold came Their duty to fulfill At the parish church near Clooney A mile from Spancil Hill I went to see my neighbours to See what they might say The old ones were all dead and gone The young ones turning grey I met the tailor Quigley He's as bold as ever still He used to mend my britches when I lived in Spancil Hill I took a flying visit to my one and only love She's as white as any lily As gentle as a dove She threw her arms around Me, saying "Johnny, i love you still" She is Nell, the farmer's daughter The pride of Spancil Hill I dreamt I held and kissed her As in the days of old Saying, "Johnny, you're only joking As many's the time before" But the cock, he crew in the morning He crew both loud and shrill I awoke in California Many miles from Spancil Hill
Thank you for the lyrics…my hubby sings this song but as the years have passed we both haven’t retained our memory. But I’ll keep this for or nights when we sing together. Go raibh maith agat.
As a Brit teenager we loved and played Irish songs all through my teen years. Then the troubles came and we were banned from playing Irish music. Playing it now brings lovely memories of those times times. Thank you Ireland. A bunch of tyme is my favourite and of course Danny boy.
The Fields of Athenry By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling "Michael, they have taken you away For you stole Trevelyan's corn So the young might see the morn Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay" Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling "Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free Against the famine and the crown I rebelled, they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity" Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry By a lonely harbour wall She watched the last star falling As that prison ship sailed out against the sky For she lived in hope and pray For her love in Botany Bay It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

Danke! Your Irish is so good. I've studied just enough to understand what you wrote but I can't write as well as you to answer you back. As the Irish say, God be with you and Mary too.

Ah yes isn't it grand brings a tear to me eyes just grand stuff
Spancil Hill
Last night as I lay dreamin'
Of pleasant days gone by
Me mind bein' bent on rambling
To Ireland I did fly
I stepped on board a vision and
I followed with the wind
Till first I came to anchor at
The cross at Spancil Hill
It being the 23rd of June
The day before the fair
Where Ireland's sons and daughters
And friends assembled there
The young, the old
The brave and the bold came
Their duty to fulfill
At the parish church near Clooney
A mile from Spancil Hill
I went to see my neighbours to
See what they might say
The old ones were all dead and gone
The young ones turning grey
I met the tailor Quigley
He's as bold as ever still
He used to mend my britches when
I lived in Spancil Hill
I took a flying visit to my one and only love
She's as white as any lily
As gentle as a dove
She threw her arms around
Me, saying "Johnny, i love you still"
She is Nell, the farmer's daughter
The pride of Spancil Hill
I dreamt I held and kissed her
As in the days of old
Saying, "Johnny, you're only joking
As many's the time before"
But the cock, he crew in the morning
He crew both loud and shrill
I awoke in California
Many miles from Spancil Hill

Jim Mc Cann is singing the Fields of Athenry
The Fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
"Michael, they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyan's corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay"
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the crown
I rebelled, they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity"
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she lived in hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
Very very nice you people, from SA
Thanks all
Flight of Earls
I can hear the bells of Dublin
In this lonely waiting room
And the paperboys are singin' in the rain
Not too long before they take us
To the airport and the noise
To get on board a transatlantic plane
We've got nothin' left to stay for
We have no more left to say
And there isn't any work for us to do
So farewell, you boys and girls
Another bloody Flight of Earls
Our best asset is our best export, too
It's not murder, fear or famine
That makes us leave this time
We're not going to
Join McAlpine's Fusileers
We've got brains, and we've got vision
We've got education, too
But we just can't throw
Away these precious years
So we walk the streets of London
And the streets of Baltimore
And we meet at night in several Boston bars
We're the leaders of the future
But we're far away from home
And we dream of you beneath the Irish stars
As we look on Ellis Island and
The Lady in the Bay
And Manhattan turns to face another Sunday
We just wonder what you're doing
For to bring us all back home
As we look forward to another Monday
Because it's not the work that scares us
We don't mind an honest job
And we know things will get better once again
So a thousand times adieu
We've got Bono and U2
And all we're missin' is the
Guinness and the rain
So switch off your new computers
'Cause the writing's on the wall
We're leaving as our fathers did before
Take a look at Dublin Airport
Or the boat that leaves North Wall
There'll be no Youth Unemployment anymore
Because we're over here in Queensland
And in parts of New South Wales
We're on the seas and airways and the trains
And if we see better days
Those big airplanes go both ways
And we'll all be coming home to you again
Very nice
Thanks
Amazing thanks a million
Die Musik ist gut
Love it !
Amazing.

(Colleen? From the Song…
In Banbridge town in the County Down
One morning last July
From a boreen green came a sweet Colleen
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
For to see I was really there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the brown Colleen
That I met in the County Down)
