《The Cavan Girl》歌词

[00:00:00] The Cavan Girl - Barnbrack

[00:00:10] As I walk the road from Killeshandra

[00:00:17] Weary I sit down

[00:00:21] For it's twelve long miles around the lake

[00:00:27] To get to Cavan Town

[00:00:32] Though Oughter and the road

[00:00:36] I go once seemed beyond compare

[00:00:42] Now I curse the time it takes to

[00:00:46] Reach my Cavan girl so fair

[00:00:53] The autumn shades are on the leaves

[00:00:58] The trees will soon be bare

[00:01:03] Each red-coat leaf around me

[00:01:07] Seems the colours of her hair

[00:01:13] My gaze replaced defies my feet

[00:01:19] And once again I sigh

[00:01:24] For the broken pool of sky reminds me

[00:01:29] The colour of her eyes

[00:01:45] At the Cavan cross each Sunday morning

[00:01:50] There she can be found

[00:01:55] And she seems to have the eye of every boy

[00:02:01] In Cavan Town

[00:02:05] If my luck will hold

[00:02:08] I'll have the golden summer of her smile

[00:02:16] And to break the hearts of Cavan men

[00:02:22] She'll talk to me awhile

[00:02:26] So next Sunday evening

[00:02:29] Finds me homeward Killeshandra bound

[00:02:37] To work the week till I return

[00:02:42] To court in Cavan Town

[00:02:47] When I asked if she would be my bride

[00:02:52] At least she'd not say no

[00:02:57] So next Sunday morning 'rouse myself

[00:03:03] And back to her I'll go
