Cavan Girl - Paddy Kelly
As I walk the road from Killeshandra
Weary I sat down
For it's twelve long miles around
The lake to get to Cavan Town
Though Oughter and the road
I go once seemed beyond compare
Now I curse the time it takes
To reach my Cavan girl so fair
The autumn shades are on the leaves
The trees will soon be bare
Each red-coat leaf around me seems
The colour of her hair
My gaze retreats to find my feet
And once again I sigh
As the broken pools of sky remind me
Of the colour of her eyes
At the Cavan cross each Sunday morning
Where she can be found
And she seems to have the eye
Of every boy in Cavan Town
If my luck will hold
I'll have the golden summer of her smile
And to break the hearts of Cavan men
She'll talk to me a while
So next Sunday evening finds me homeward
Killeshandra bound -
To work the week till
I return to court in Cavan Town
When asked if she would be my bride
At least she'd not say no
So next Sunday morning
I'll rouse myself and back to her I'll go
