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
And she said that only fools believed,
D
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
