Eileen Oge Songtext / Lyric

Sez he, 'I know a girl that could knock you into fits,'
At that Eileen nearly lost her wits.
The upshot of the ruction was that now the robber sits,
With his arm around the Pride of Petravore.
Eileen Oge! Me heart is growin' grey
Ever since the day you wandered far away
Eileen Oge! There's good fish in the say, But there's no one like the Pride of Petravore.

Boys, oh 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, me boys, this is all I have to say,
When you do your courtin' make no display,
If you want them to run after you just walk the other way,
For they're mostly like the Pride of Petravore.
Eileen Oge! Me heart is growin' grey
Ever since the day you wandered far away
Eileen Oge! There's good fish in the say,
But there's no one like the Pride of Petravore.
