Verse:

N.C. C     G  C     G    F    G   C
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

Instrumental:
C G C G F C

Verse:

       G  C      G    F     G   C
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

Am G F C F C G

Verse:

     C   G    C    G    F   G    C
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

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

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

Now I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl, so fair

        G    C    G  F     G     C
Now I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl, so fair
