Hello!

[@Queerienlannister]

Last night as I lay dreaming, of the pleasant days gone by, My mind being bent on rambling to Ireland I did fly. I stepped on board a vision and followed it with a will, 'Til I gladly came to anchor at the Cross of Spancil Hill. 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, To Martin Moilen's music, at the Cross of Spancil Hill. It being on the twenty third of June, the day before the fair, Sure Erin's sons and daughters, they all assembled there. The young, the old, the stout and the bold, they came to sport and kill, What a curious combination, at the Fair of Spancil Hill. So I paid a flying visit, to my first and only love, She's as pure as any lily, and as gentle as a dove. She threw her arms around me, saying Mike I love you still, 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 O'er hills and vallies sounded, in notes that seemed to tell Of the Joyous King of Angels, his Choicest Blessings spill On that Glorious spot of Nature, the Cross of Spancil Hill

[@paulwebb2851]

Sounds like the last two lines sung are"Of the Glorious King of Angel, His choicest blessings spill/ On that curious spot of nature, the Cross of Spancil Hill."

[@catpmarga]

Trying to find the name of the second tune incorporated as a bridge into this piece! Is it a traditional tune, or something written for the arrangement by the High Kings?

[@alexv3357]

I'm pretty sure the bridge melody is just that, an instrumental fill they wrote for this song

[@bobmawa1149]

Best part 2:52

[@FeFarthing]

Stayed on weekends at leave from Air Force in an Irish dwelling in San Francisco. The old man of the house was ex- Irish Republican Army , quartermaster. The Brits wanted to hang him. After the armistice between Irish and Brits, he refused to lay down arms. And had a steep price on his head. Lived to be 84 and loved the whiskey. He would tell me that every man had the right to be free.
