Emmet Cahill, I think this is my first time finding your video and for sure I will find more. Your voice is absolutely beautiful and I love and appreciate your style of songs that tell a story. As I’m listening I can imagine beautiful Ireland and Scotland in the background. Although that’s my heritage I’ve never been there. Way over a hundred years ago family ended up here in Louisiana where actually some of our music is quite similar. Thank you for sharing your beautiful songs.
As I walk the road from Killeshandra weary I sat down For it's twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan Town Though Oughter 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-coat leaf around me seems the colour of her hair My gaze retreats to find my feet and once again I sigh As the broken pools of sky remind me of the colour of her eyes 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 - Killeshandra bound - To work the week till I return to court in Cavan Town When asked if she would be my bride, at least she'd not say no So next Sunday morning I'll rouse myself and back to her I'll go As I walk the road from Killeshandra weary I sat down For it's twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan Town Though Oughter 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
This song always reminds me of my grandmother, who was from Cavan. Thank you, Emmet and Seamus!
What beautiful romantic song. This the first time I've heard it sung by Emmet. 🥰
Such a very sweet, beautiful song Emmet Cahill!! ☘️💚🎶🎵🇮🇪🌹💕
Great version, voice sounds so much like Brian Kennedy, angelic vibe
I saw a lot of people requesting this one on a live chat the other night. Now I understand why! This was absolutely stunning.

Beautiful Lovely singer
As I walk the road from Killeshandra weary I sat down
For it's twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan Town
Though Oughter 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-coat leaf around me seems the colour of her hair
My gaze retreats to find my feet and once again I sigh
As the broken pools of sky remind me of the colour of her eyes
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 - Killeshandra bound -
To work the week till I return to court in Cavan Town
When asked if she would be my bride, at least she'd not say no
So next Sunday morning I'll rouse myself and back to her I'll go
As I walk the road from Killeshandra weary I sat down
For it's twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan Town
Though Oughter 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
Is the man that plays piano Emmetts father ?
