The Old Dungarvan Oak

G                  C
As I walked out one morning, going 
to Dungarvan Fair
       G              D
I spied a pretty maiden, with the 
sunlight in her hair
G                 C
Her way was so delightful, her voice
 rang like a bell
    G        D     G
And as I over-took her, I asked if 
she was well

[Chorus]
D                         G  C
Lay down your woollen shawl my love,
 I swear it is no joke
G          D G
And I'll tell to you the story of 
The Old Dungarvan Oak

[Verse 2]
G                 C
As we approached Dungarvan, The girl
 at me did stare
       G                        
And she asked me why I raised my 
     D
hat, to a tree so old and bare
G                      C
So I told her of the legend, if the 
tree should e'er come down

      G         D    G
There'd be a great disaster, And 
Dungarvan would be drowned

[Chorus]
D                         G  C
Lay down your woollen shawl my love,
 I swear it is no joke
G          D G
And I'll tell to you the story of 
The Old Dungarvan Oak

[Verse 3]
G               C
Then she started laughing, my face 
grew very red
             G              
And she said that only fools 
           D
believed, what old legends said
G                     C
Her laughter was contagious, for the
 truth to you I'll tell
                 G           D  G
By the time I reached the market 
place, I began to laugh as well

[Chorus]
D                         G  C
Lay down your woollen shawl my love,
 I swear it is no joke
G          D G
And I'll tell to you the story of 
The Old Dungarvan Oak

[Verse 4]
G                      C
As I sit here by my fireside, it’s 
the autumn of my life
    G                            D
And the lovely girl I met that day, 
Is now my darling wife
G                    C
Oh I have a lovely daughter, and a 
son to push my yoke
    G                D  G
And all because I raised my hat, To 
the Old Dungarvan Oak

[Chorus]
D                         G  C
Lay down your woollen shawl my love,
 I swear it is no joke
G          D G
And I'll tell to you the story of 
The Old Dungarvan Oak
