cd: Live at Bainbridge
track 5: Dulahan
Dulahan Dulahan your terror I shun
With black cape and horse you’re the devils own son
Don’t speak my name or my life will be done
Dulahan Dulahan I see you, and I run
You haunted the farm road when I was a child
The old said beware, and the young were beguiled
Till that first encounter, that cut like a knife
The Dulahan’s with you the rest of your life
CHORUS
My second encounter was more of the same
The dusk turned to dark, and the night brought the rain
The black demon Dulahan, head by his side
Pursued me with vigor, I fled and I cried
CHORUS
As I turned from childhood and into a man
I fancied the lassies, forgot Dulahan
Before dawn I heard it, as homeward I strolled
The thundering hoofbeats, my blood it ran cold
The old men said gold was the one thing he feared
The coin in my hand caused his stallion to rear
I turned and I ran, through the hills and the bog
The Dulahan’s silhouette etched in the fog
CHORUS
Dulahan Music
