Irish Tenors Eileen Oige Lyrics

Eileen Oge, and that the darlin's name is
Through the barony her features they were famous
If we loved her, who is there to blame us
For wasn't she the pride of Petravore?
But her beauty made us all so shy
Not a man could look her in the eye
Boys, O boys, sure that's reason why
We're in mourning for the pride of Petravore

CHORUS
Eileen Og, me heart is growing grey
Ever since the day, you wandered far away
Eileen Og, there's good fish in the sea
But there's none of them like the pride of Petravore

Boys, O boys, with fate 'tis hard to grapple
Of my eye 'tis Eileen was the apple
And now to see her walkin' to the chapel
Wid the hardest featured man in Petravore
And now boys, this is all I have to say
When you do your courting make no display
If you want them running after you just walk the other way
For they're mostly like the Pride of Petravore
Chorus
