Spancil Hill

DaithiMac

A song sang by all the old reliables - Christy Moore, the Pogues, the Wolfe Tones, the Dubliners and many more besides.

From Wikipedia: ““Spancil Hill” is a song written in a traditional Irish folk style by Michael Considine. It bemoans the plight of the Irish immigrants who so longed for home from their new lives in America, many of whom went to California with the Gold Rush. This song is sung by a man who longs for his home in Spancilhill, his friends and the love he left there. All the characters and places in this song are real.”
