Talkin Cavan lyrics

Send "Talkin Cavan" Ringtone to your Cell A while ago I chanced to roam to the place my great grandad called home It wasn\'t that much I saw that day, but I learned I whole lot along the way I was goin\' to Ireland... retracing my family footsteps... diggin\' up roots You could call em tubers The closer to the root of my family tree, the more people seemed to look like me Saw a sign said Mollie O\'Brien\'s bar, I knew right then I couldn\'t be that far I went in there and asked for beer, he pours this black stuff, he says, \'cheers \'Guiness gives you strength, he said, I\'ll tell you friends it\'s like drinkin\' bread There\'s a loaf in every pint... I was feelin\' strong... felt like I wanted to sing My whistle was wet and my tongue was loose When the barman asked how come I\'d choose To travel such a long, long way on such a cold and rainy day I said, \'I\'m goin\' up to Kingscourt town. That\'s in County Cavan, to look around. My great grandaddy came from there. I want to see if the old home place is still there. Well he shook his head up and down And then side to side and then he turned around and said \'A Cavan man then... you know, a lot of people wouldn\'t admit to that I figured I\'d save a little hassle so I booked a room nearby in a fancy castle Had a hard time gettin\' my dinner there It was full of these people with light blonde hair Danish tourists...two big busloads of em Now the owner of the place, his hair was black When I talked to him, I didn\'t get much back His people are what you call \'west Brits They\'re the ones that treated my people like dirt That\'s what lead to the Irish civil war, I didn\'t know I\'d come back for a little bit more His nose was way up in the air... but he took my money all the same That night I dreamed I saw the ghost of the one I\'d rather have as host It was Tom O\'Brien walkin\' round the cabin, there in Kingscourt town in County Cavan Then the very next day in the hardware store I found a cousin ten times removed or more But he was no apparition, he wasn\'t a haint - he was sellin\' nuts and bolts and paint I told him about our family connection, and he kinda stood there still, reflectin\' I could tell he wasn\'t that much impressed when he asked me with nary a trace of jest He said, \'How exactly may I help you sir? I just bought some nails and got the hell out of there Then later that day after some detectin, I found the lane in the rural section It matched the picture in my dad\'s scrap book And my heart beat faster as I drove to look The sun burst through the clouds just then as I gazed at the current residents It was a little sheep dog and an old milk cow Yeah the old home place is an old barn now It\'s ashes to ashes... dust to dust... thatched roof to tin roof... and tin roof to rust Send " Talkin Cavan" Ringtone to your Cell Talkin Cavan lyrics @ Burbler Lyrics | Talkin Cavan lyrics @ ELyrics | Talkin Cavan lyrics @ Kovideo | Lyrics and Video @ MusicBabylon | Talkin Cavan lyrics @ Songlyrics | Talkin Cavan lyrics @ ELyricsWorld
