[Verse]
N.C. C          G   C          G    
   F       G     C
As I walked the road from 
Killeshandra, weary, I sat down
                     G      Am    
For it's twelve long miles around 
    G   F                      G
the lake to get to Cavan Town
       C       G       Am     G  
Though Oughter and the road I go, 
 F
once seemed beyond compare
      C             G   C        
Now I curse the time it takes to 
G    F         G         C
reach my Cavan girl, so fair

[Verse]
           G     C           G   
The Autumn shades are on the 
   F               G       C
leaves, the trees will soon be bare
             G     Am       G    
Each redcoat leaf around me seems
F                        G
 the colour of her hair
   C      G         Am      G    
My gaze retreats, defies my feet, 
F
and once again I sigh
       C      G       C     G    
As the broken pool of sky 
 F           G      C
reminds, the colour of her eyes

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

So, next Sunday evening finds me 
G        F     G       C
homeward, Killeshandra bound
            G         Am  G       
To work the week 'til I return to 
F                    G
court in Cavan Town
     C        G         Am    G 
When asked if she would be my 
    F
bride, at least she'd not said 'No'
        C      G      C          
So next Sunday morning I'll rouse
   G   F            G         C
 myself and back to her, I'll go
