The High Kings - Cavan girl

N.C.

As I ^Cwalked the ^Groad^C from Kille^Gshandra,^F weary, ^GI sat ^Cdown For it's twelve long ^Gmiles a^Amround the ^Glake^F to get to Cavan Town ^G Though ^COughter ^Gand the ^Amroad I ^Ggo, ^Fonce seemed beyond compare Now I ^Ccurse the time^G it ^Ctakes to ^Greach^F my Cavan ^Ggirl, so f^Cair

The Autumn ^Gshades^C are on the ^Gleaves,^F the trees will ^Gsoon be ^Cbare Each redcoat ^Gleaf a^Amround me ^Gseems^F the colour of her hair ^G My ^Cgaze re^Gtreats, de^Amfies my ^Gfeet,^F and once again I sigh As the ^Cbroken ^Gpool of ^Csky re^Gminds,^F the colour ^Gof her ^Ceyes

At the Cavan ^Gcross^C each Sunday ^Gmorning,^F where she ^Gcan be ^Cfound And she seems to ^Ghave the ^Ameye of ^Gevery ^Fboy in Cavan Town ^G If my^C luck will ^Ghold, I'll ^Amhave the ^Ggolden ^Fsummer of her smile And to ^Cbreak the ^Ghearts^C of Cavan ^Gmen,^F she'll talk to ^Gme a^Cwhile

So, next ^CSunday ^Gevening ^Cfinds me ^Ghomeward,^F Kille^Gshandra ^Cbound To work the ^Gweek 'til ^AmI re^Gturn to ^Fcourt in Cavan Town ^G When ^Casked if ^Gshe would ^Ambe my ^Gbride,^F at least she'd not said 'No' So next ^CSunday ^Gmorning^C I'll rouse my^Gself^F and back to ^Gher, I'll ^Cgo
