The song My Cavan Girl comes to mind, and was also suggested at your earlier thread.
The lyrics for the song are at Prof's Traditional Pages Prof's Pages --select Music Map....as I recall he also has the music as well (select Songs from the map)....Prof might have some other info....not sure.

Here are they lyrics:
MY CAVAN GIRL
As I walk the road from Killashandra, weary I sit down.
For it's twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan town.
Though Ougher and the road I go once seemed beyond compare
Now I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl so fair
The autumn shades are on the leaves, the trees will soon be bare
Each red gold leaf around me seems the colours of her hair
My gaze retreats to find my feet and once again I sigh
For the broken pools of sky remind the colour of her eyes.
At the Cavan cross each Sunday morning, there she can be found
And she seems to have the eye of every boy in Cavan town
If my luck will hold I'll have the golden summer of her smile
And to break the hearts of Cavan men, she'll talk to me a while
So next Sunday evening finds me homeward, Killashandra bound
To work the week, till I return to court in Cavan town.
When asked if she would be my bride, at least she'd not said no.
So next Sunday morning I'll rouse myself and back to her I'll go.
