Spancil Hill or in original spelling Spancilhill is a traditional Irish folk ballad composed by Michael Considine (1850-1873), who was born in Spancil Hill and emigrated to the USA. 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 Spancill Hill, County Clare, his friends and the love he left there. All the characters and places in this song are real.

This is one of my favourite songs of all time, its just so beautiful and tragic. Such a good song to.
