[Verse]
N.C. C G C G F G CAs I walked the road from Killeshandra, weary, I sat down
G Am G F GFor it's twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan Town
C G Am G FThough Oughter and the road I go, once seemed beyond compare
C G C G F G CNow I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl, so fair
[Verse]
G C G F G CThe Autumn shades are on the leaves, the trees will soon be bare
G Am G F GEach redcoat leaf around me seems the colour of her hair
C G Am G FMy gaze retreats, defies my feet, and once again I sigh
C G C G F G CAs the broken pool of sky reminds, the colour of her eyes
[Instrumental] C G C G F C [Verse]
G C G F G CAt the Cavan cross each Sunday morning, where she can be found
G Am G F GAnd she seems to have the eye of every boy in Cavan Town
C G Am G FIf my luck will hold, I'll have the golden summer of her smile
C G C G F G CAnd to break the hearts of Cavan men, she'll talk to me awhile
[Instrumental] C G C G F G C Am G F C F C G [Verse]
C G C G F G CSo, next Sunday evening finds me homeward, Killeshandra bound
G Am G F GTo work the week 'til I return to court in Cavan Town
C G Am G FWhen asked if she would be my bride, at least she'd not said 'No'
C G C G F G CSo next Sunday morning I'll rouse myself and back to her, I'll go
[Instrumental] C G C G F [Verse]
C G C G F G CAs I walked the road from Killeshandra, weary, I sat down
G Am G F GFor it's twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan Town
C G Am G FThough Oughter and the road I go, once seemed beyond compare
C G C G F G CNow I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl, so fair
G C G F G CNow I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl, so fair
