Old Dungarvan Oak - Larry Cunningham[00:00:00]
As I rode out one morning going to Dungarvan Fair[00:00:11]
I spied a pretty maiden with the sunlight in her hair[00:00:16]
Her way was so delightful her voice rang like a bell[00:00:21]
And as I overtook her I asked if she was well[00:00:26]
Lay down your woolen shawl my love[00:00:31]
I swear it is no joke[00:00:33]
I'll tell to you the story[00:00:36]
Of the Old Dungarvan Oak[00:00:38]
As we approached Dungarvan the girl at me did stare[00:00:47]
And she asked me why I raised my hat to a tree so old and bare[00:00:52]
I told her of the legend if the tree should e'er come down[00:00:56]
There'd be a great disaster sure Dungarvan would be drowned[00:01:01]
Lay down your woolen shawl my love[00:01:06]
I swear it is no joke[00:01:09]
I'll tell to you the story[00:01:11]
Of the Old Dungarvan Oak[00:01:13]
But she started laughing my face grew very red[00:01:27]
She said that only fools believed what those old legends said[00:01:32]
Her laughter was contagious for the truth to you I'll tell[00:01:37]
Before I reached the market place I began to laugh as well[00:01:42]
Lay down your woolen shawl my love[00:01:47]
I swear it is no joke[00:01:49]
I'll tell to you the story[00:01:51]
Of the Old Dungarvan Oak[00:01:54]
As I sit here by my fireside it's the autumn of my life[00:02:02]
And the darling girl I met that day is now my darling wife[00:02:08]
Sure we have a lovely daughter and the son to push my yoke[00:02:12]
And all because I raised my hat to the Old Dungarvan Oak[00:02:17]
Lay down your woolen shawl my love[00:02:22]
I swear it is no joke[00:02:25]
I'll tell to you the story[00:02:27]
Of the Old Dungarvan Oak[00:02:29]
Lay down your woolen shawl my love[00:02:32]
I swear it is no joke[00:02:34]
I'll tell to you the story[00:02:37]
Of the Old Dungarvan Oak[00:02:39]
