N.C. C majorC     G+G  C majorC     G+G    FF    G+G   C majorC
As I walked the road from Killeshandra, weary, I sat down

           G+G   A minorAm    G+G  FF           G+G
For it's twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan Town

    C majorC    G+G    A minorAm   G+G  FF
Though Oughter and the road I go, once seemed beyond compare

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

      G+G   C majorC      G+G   FF        G+G    C majorC
The Autumn shades are on the leaves, the trees will soon be bare

       G+G   A minorAm    G+G  FF            G+G
Each redcoat leaf around me seems the colour of her hair

  C majorC   G+G     A minorAm   G+G  FF
My gaze retreats, defies my feet, and once again I sigh

    C majorC   G+G    C majorC   G+G   FF      G+G   C majorC
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+G    A minorAm   G+G   FF         G+G
And she seems to have the eye of every boy in Cavan Town

   C majorC     G+G     A minorAm    G+G   FF
If my luck will hold, I'll have the golden summer of her smile

    C majorC     G+G   C majorC     G+G  FF        G+G  C majorC
And to break the hearts of Cavan men, she'll talk to me awhile

So, next Sunday evening finds me homeward, Killeshandra bound

      G+G     A minorAm G+G    FF          G+G
To work the week 'til I return to court in Cavan Town

   C majorC    G+G     A minorAm  G+G   FF
When asked if she would be my bride, at least she'd not said 'No'

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