Luyện nghe bài hát Talkin' Cavan

A while ago I chanced to roam to the place my great grandad home
It wasn't that much I saw day, but I learned I whole lot along the way
I was goin' to Ireland... retracing my footsteps... diggin' up roots
You could call em

The closer to the root of my family tree, the more people seemed to look me
Saw a sign said Mollie bar, I knew right then I couldn't be that far
I went in there and for beer, he pours this black stuff, he says, 'cheers
'Guiness gives you strength, he said, I'll tell you friends it's like bread
a loaf in every pint... I was feelin' strong... felt like I wanted to sing

My was wet and my tongue was loose
the barman asked how come I'd choose
To travel such a long, long way on such a and rainy day
I said, 'I'm goin' up to town. That's in County Cavan, to look around.
My great came from there.
I want to see if the old home is still there.
he shook his head up and down
And then side to and then he turned around and said
'A Cavan man then... you know, a lot of wouldn't admit to that

I figured I'd a little hassle so I booked a room nearby in a fancy castle
Had a hard time my dinner there
It was full of these with light blonde hair
Danish tourists...two big of em
Now the of the place, his hair was black
When I to him, I didn't get much back
His people are what you call 'west
They're the ones that treated my people like
That's what lead to the 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 my money all the same

That 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
Then the next day in the hardware store
I found a cousin ten times or more
But he was no apparition, he wasn't a haint - he was sellin' nuts and and paint
I told him about our family connection, and he stood there still, reflectin'
I could tell he wasn't that much when he asked me with nary a trace of jest
He said, 'How exactly may I help you
I just bought some nails and got the hell out of

Then later that day after some detectin, I found the in the rural section
It matched the picture in my dad's book
And my heart beat faster as I drove to
The sun burst through the clouds just as I gazed at the current residents
It was a little dog and an old milk cow
Yeah the old home is an old barn now
It's ashes to ashes... to dust... thatched roof to tin roof... and tin roof to rust
