Verse

As I walked the road from Killeshandra, weary, I sat down
G Am G F G
For it's twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan Town
C G Am G F
Though Oughter and the road I go, once seemed beyond compare
C G C G F G C
Now I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl, so fair
Verse
G C G F G C
The Autumn shades are on the leaves, the trees will soon be bare
G Am G F G
Each redcoat leaf around me seems the colour of her hair
C G Am G F
My gaze retreats, defies my feet, and once again I sigh
C G C G F G C
As the broken pool of sky reminds, the colour of her eyes

At the Cavan cross each Sunday morning, where she can be found
G Am G F G
And she seems to have the eye of every boy in Cavan Town
C G Am G F
If my luck will hold, I'll have the golden summer of her smile
C G C G F G C
And to break the hearts of Cavan men, she'll talk to me awhile

So, next Sunday evening finds me homeward, Killeshandra bound
G Am G F G
To work the week 'til I return to court in Cavan Town

When asked if she would be my bride, at least she'd not said 'No'

So next Sunday morning I'll rouse myself and back to her, I'll go
