The Old Dungarvan Oak

[Verse 1]
G                  C
As I walked out one morning, going to Dungarvan Fair
       G              D
I spied a pretty maiden, with the sunlight in her hair
G                 C
Her way was so delightful, her voice rang like a bell
    G        D     G
And as I over-took her, I asked if she was well

[Chorus]
D                         G  C
Lay down your woollen shawl my love, I swear it is no joke
G          D G
And I'll tell to you the story of The Old Dungarvan Oak

[Verse 2]
G                 C
As we approached Dungarvan, The girl at me did stare
       G                             D
And she asked me why I raised my hat, to a tree so old and bare
G                      C
So I told her of the legend, if the tree should e'er come down
      G         D    G
There'd be a great disaster, And Dungarvan would be drowned

[Chorus]
D                         G  C
Lay down your woollen shawl my love, I swear it is no joke
G          D G
And I'll tell to you the story of The Old Dungarvan Oak

[Verse 3]
G               C
Then she started laughing, my face grew very red
             G                         D
And she said that only fools believed, what old legends said
G                     C
Her laughter was contagious, for the truth to you I'll tell
                 G           D  G
By the time I reached the market place, I began to laugh as well

[Chorus]
D                         G  C
Lay down your woollen shawl my love, I swear it is no joke
G          D G
And I'll tell to you the story of The Old Dungarvan Oak

[Verse 4]
G                      C
As I sit here by my fireside, it’s the autumn of my life
    G                            D
And the lovely girl I met that day, Is now my darling wife
G                    C
Oh I have a lovely daughter, and a son to push my yoke
    G                D  G
And all because I raised my hat, To the Old Dungarvan Oak

[Chorus]
D                         G  C
Lay down your woollen shawl my love, I swear it is no joke
G          D G
And I'll tell to you the story of The Old Dungarvan Oak
