Am G Am it being the 23rd of june , the day before the fair , C G when irelands’ sons and daughters , in crowds assembled there , Am the young and the old , the brave and the bold , C G Am G Am came their joy to fulfill , there were jovial conversations at the fair at spancil hill . Am G Am i went to see my neighbors , to hear what they might say , C G the old ones were all dead and gone , the young ones turning gray , Am C G i met with the tailor quigley he’s as bald as ever still , Am G Am sure he used to make me britches when i lived in spancil hill . Am G Am i paid a flying visit to my first and only love , C G she s as white as any lily and as gentle as a dove , Am C G she threw her arms around me , saying johnny i love you still , Am G Am oh , she’s nell the farmers daughter and the flower of spancil hill . Am G Am i dream t i held and kissed her , as in the days of yore , C G she said johnny you’re only joking like many’s the times before , Am C G the cock he crew the morning , he crew both loud and shrill , Am G Am and i awoke in california , many miles from spancil hill . set8
