My Cavan Girl lyrics - Celtic Thunder

As I walk the road from Killashandra

Weary I'm sat down

For it's twelve long miles around the lake

To get to Cavan town

Though Ougher 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-gold leaf around me seems the colours of her hair

My gaze retreats to find my feet

And once again I sigh

For the broken pool of sky reminds me

The colours of her eye

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 - Killashandra bound

To work the week, till I return and court in Cavan town

When asked if she would be my bride at least she'd not said "no"

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

As I walk the road from Killashandra

Weary I'm sat down

For it's twelve long miles around the lake

To get to Cavan town

Though Ougher and the road I go

Once seemed beyond compare

Now I curse the time it takes to reach

My Cavan girl so fair

Now I curse the time it takes to reach

My Cavan girl so fair
