Verse:
   A minorAm       A minorAm
Last night as I lay dreaming
    A minorAm         A minorAm
Of the pleasant days gone by
  A minorAm
My mind being bent on rambling to Ireland I did fly


 A minorAm
I stepped on board a vision
And followed it with a will
'Til I gladly came to anchor
At the Cross of Spancil Hill

  A minorAm
And when our duty did commence, we all knelt down in prayer
In hopes for to be ready, to climb the Golden Stair
And when back home returning, we danced with right good will
                 G+G        D MajorD
To Martin Moilen's music, at the Cross of Spancil Hill


Instrumental:
(A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G E minorEm A minorAm)


  A minorAm           G+G                D MajorD
It being on the twenty third of June, the day before the fair
   A minorAm               G+G       D MajorD
Sure Erin's sons and daughters, they all assembled there
   A minorAm                     G+G         D MajorD
The young, the old, the stout and the bold, they came to sport and kill
    A minorAm      E minorEm              D MajorD
What a curious combination, at the Fair of Spancil Hill


   A minorAm            G+G       D MajorD
So I paid a flying visit, to my first and only love
    A minorAm             G+G      D MajorD
She's as pure as any lily, and as gentle as a dove
   A minorAm               G+G        D MajorD
She threw her arms around me, saying Mike I love you still
     A minorAm         E minorEm                D MajorD
And she's Mack the Ranger's daughter, and the Pride of Spancil Hill

It being a Sabbath morning, I thought I heard a bell
   D MajorD          A augmentedA     F# minorF#m         G+G
O'er hills and vallies sounded, in notes that seemed to tell
    D MajorD       A augmentedA      F# minorF#m        D MajorD
Of the Joyous King of Angels, his Choicest Blessings spill

On that Glorious spot of Nature, the Cross of Spancil Hill
