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
