OMG I miss you so much my lovely emerald isle. How I long to be with you. :'( You are so precious in every blade of grass and grain of sod. i will be with you again some day my lovely ancestral homeland.
For sure one of the best songs I ever heard and one of the best renditions of it in this version. And Pictures of Ireland to watch. It hardly gets better. Norway and Erins green Isle are the places burned in my heart like nothing else. I love it
my grandmother was from kileshandra. she used to tell me of what it was like to be home. Even tho I might not be born from this great country, its spirit still lives with us. I hope to go home someday. whether it be kileshandra, dublin, Galway, e.t.c. it's still worth it. thank you for posting this. it brings me a little closer to her and the homeland. thank you. wishing you love from Minnesota USA. Kaleb O'leary.
Killeshandra is a lovey place it was my home town for many years I still think about and go to killeshandra when I can some good people up there nice pups good fishing good crack to be had love this song make people think how lucky thay are
@jamilaqamar and thank you very much for sharing my appreciation for it. I will be putting up more High Kings so keep an eye out for more you will probably enjoy
Not to sure of the "Greatest Irish band of these times" but they are very good, anyway thanks that was lovely reminds me of my Gaeltacht days when Killeshandra and Cavan were the nearest towns
As I walk the road from Kilashandra, weary eyes are down for it's twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan Town lough after on the road I go, one scene beyond compare and I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl so fair now the autumn shades are on the leave, the trees will soon be bare each red hued leaf around me seems the color of her hair my gaze retreats, defies my feet and once again I sigh for each broken blue around seems the colour of her eyes at the Cavan Cross each Sunday morning, there she can be found and it seems she has the eye of every boy in Cavan Town if my luck will hold, I'll catch the golden Summer of her smile and I'll break the hearts of Cavan men for she'll talk with me awhile so next Sunday evening finds me homeward, Kilashandra bound to work a week 'till I return to court in Cavan Town when asked if she would be my wife at least she's not said no so next Sunday early, 'rouse myself, and back to her I'll go
Great version but why a promotion for Bord Failte for the tourists Ireland? Co. Cavan could fill hours of video with it's hidden beauty. On reflection... perhaps it's best we keep it hidden and beautiful.
No offence but you are not too well acquainted with all of Co Cavan. For example, the Cuilcagh Mountains, the Shannon Pot or the villages of Dowra , Glangevlin and Blacklion. These areas are as as great a natural beauty as many you included but they are not as well known as the tourist traps you show.
As a Killeshandra Cavan lady - exactly - what a disgrace to not have beautiful images actually from CAVAN - it makes this totally unbelievable!!!!!! Shame on you for not doing your research properly !!!!!!!
I love this song - it's done just the way it should be. 🍁🍁
God bless Cavan where my parents where from, this song brings tears to my eyes when I hear this song. up Mullarhoran

Great Song, I will return to Ireland once again, though I‘m german this is my favorite Place to be
Every so often I stop by here to think of my mother in law. I’m not Irish but my mother in law was from County of Cavan & was very special to me. X
Fantastic reminds me of my talks with patsy fay Cavan man
Beautiful Country & my home town 👍☘🇮🇪💚
For sure one of the best songs I ever heard and one of the best renditions of it in this version. And Pictures of Ireland to watch. It hardly gets better. Norway and Erins green Isle are the places burned in my heart like nothing else. I love it
I love the words in this song I could listen to this song every day
Such a beautiful country. Hopefully I’ll get to see it for myself.
Lovely! I've got some Irish blood in me and proud of it. Thanks for posting/sharing this.....

Written by Thom Moore, wonderful version. I must relearn it.
So nice I love it
The late THOM MOORE wrote this song and deserves credit...
Not to sure of the "Greatest Irish band of these times" but they are very good, anyway thanks that was lovely reminds me of my Gaeltacht days when Killeshandra and Cavan were the nearest towns
Me and my wife moved to Cavan town from dublin best ting we ever done
Erskine, Curran, and McGourty (Killashandra) from my Mother's side from Cavan. This line spread to Newry and Belfast.
cavin town beauitful
This reminds me of Spice ad Wolf for some reason. It's so pretty. :)
Your mom reminds me of Spice and Wolf.
Listen complete stranger I have never met in real life before...my mother doesn't remind anyone of anything. She's very forgetful.
Well handled.
Love u
As I walk the road from Kilashandra, weary eyes are down
for it's twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan Town
lough after on the road I go, one scene beyond compare
and I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl so fair
now the autumn shades are on the leave, the trees will soon be bare
each red hued leaf around me seems the color of her hair
my gaze retreats, defies my feet and once again I sigh
for each broken blue around seems the colour of her eyes
at the Cavan Cross each Sunday morning, there she can be found
and it seems she has the eye of every boy in Cavan Town
if my luck will hold, I'll catch the golden Summer of her smile
and I'll break the hearts of Cavan men for she'll talk with me awhile
so next Sunday evening finds me homeward, Kilashandra bound
to work a week 'till I return to court in Cavan Town
when asked if she would be my wife at least she's not said no
so next Sunday early, 'rouse myself, and back to her I'll go
Weary I sat down
For Oughter and the road I go. (Lough Oughter is a lake).
Lough Oughter instead of "After the road" :)
Up Cavan
This is a lovely video of Ireland, but why the Chateau de Chambord (France) in 1:53?
@STIPOWER97 Why thank you.. I shall be doing more uploads when i get the time. Im very encouraged by the positive responses. cheers
Lovely song, but why no Cavan scenes? There's some beautiful countryside this way!
Killeshandra is where I'm from 😁😁 up cavan
Thanks for your comment. :)
Desperately looking for a tab of this song so i can pick it on guitar....anyone know where one can be found?
Sláinte !
Great version but why a promotion for Bord Failte for the tourists Ireland? Co. Cavan could fill hours of video with it's hidden beauty.
On reflection...
perhaps it's best we keep it hidden and beautiful.
Cavan, the land where God was born
To each their own
@pppearse do.....ive been looking for this cover for a long time but couldnt find it,not the studio version anyway!
does anyone have any links to tabs they could share? i can't seem to find a single one for this version, and i just cant quite learn it from ear
+Calvin Cady do you mean this www.songlyrics.com/the-high-kings/cavan-girl-lyrics/
Incredible song, does anyone have tabs for this guitar part I can’t find it anywhere !!
A French Chateau - how did that get in the race?
Chambord chateau, also a Scottish castle Eilean Donan. There are enough beautiful castles in Ireland without using those from other countries
ах как красиво
you are quite right. I chose a theme of beautiful Irish scenery, Cavan just doesnt feature in the top sights although certainly a beautiful county

Ok Deirdre
Tourist traps in Cavan ??😂😂
Best ever version of this song. Oh and by the way......Derek who? Probably another pub singer who has adoring uneducated fans.
Why not show views of Co. Cavan. There are no coastline views in Cavan but lots of lovely scenery all the same!
There are no cavan scenes here strange one that !!
Hi😂
Lovely song scenery ain't Cavan tho!
ha ha...for sure! No coastline in Cavan!
no one can sing this song like the great derek mcCormack this guy would noy carry the mic in for him when it comes to singing
Obviously you are deaf. Or worse. But hey....thanks for giving me a great laugh!
why is the rock of cashel there . cashel is in tipperary
Try Celtic Woman. They are just a little better.
Which Celtic Woman line up do you refer to? Theres been at leat 45 at this stage and sorry, they are not better.
