Intro:    Am    Asus    Am    Asusx 2
Last nAmight as I lay drGeaming of pleasant dEmays gone Amby,
My mind being bent on rambling, to CIreland I did Gfly.
I stAmepped on board a vision and fCollowed with the wGind,
Till nAmext I came to Ganchor at the cross near SpEmancil HAmill.
  Am    Asus    Am    Asusx 2
T'was Amon the 23rd JGune, the day befEmore the fAmair,
When lreland's sons and daughters and fCriends assembled tGhere.
The yAmoung, the old, the brave, the bold, cCame their duty to fGill,
At the pAmarish church at ClGuney, just a mile from SEmpancil AmHill.
  Am    Asus    Am    Asusx 2
I wAment to see my nGeighbors to hear what tEmhey might Amsay:
The old ones were all dead and gone; the yCoung ones, turning gGray.
I Ammet the tailor Quigley, he's bCold as ever stGill,
Sure he uAmsed to mend my brGitches when I lived at SEmpancil AmHill.
  Am    Asus    Am    Asusx 2
I pAmaid a flying vGisit to my first and Emonly Amlove.
She's fair as any lily and gCentle as a dGove.
She tAmhrew her arms around me saying "JCohnny, I love you stGill".
She was AmMeg, the farmer's dGaughter and the pride of SEmpancil AmHill.
She was MAmeg, the farmer's daGughter and the pride of SEmpancil AmHill.
