Intro: Am Em F C Am Em Am
AmEileen Og an' that the darlin's name is
TGhrough the Barony her features they were famous
IAmf we loved her then who was there to blame us
For wEmasn't she thAme Pride of PetEmravoreAm?
BFut her beautyC made us all so shy
NEmot a man could Amlook her in the eye
BFoys, Oh boys, sure tChat's the reason why
We're in Emmournin' for the PAmride of PEmetravoreAm
EFileen Og mCe heart is growin' grey,
EEmver since the day you Amwandered far away
EFileen Og there's gCood fish in the say,
BEmut there's none of them like the PAmride of EmPetravAmore
FAmriday at the fair of Ballintubber
EGileen met McGrath the cattle jobber
IAm'd like to set me mark upon the robber
FEmor he stole away theAm Pride of PeEmtravoreAm
HFe never seemed to sCee the girl at all
EEmven when she ogled him fAmrom underneath her shawl
LFookin' big and masterful when sChe was lookin' small
MEmost provokin' for the PAmride of PetEmravore Am
EFileen Og me Cheart is growin' grey,
EEmver since the day you Amwandered far away
EFileen Og there's Cgood fish in the say,
BEmut there's none of them like the PAmride of PeEmtravorAme
(Brief instrumental played like intro) Am Em F C Am Em Am
SAmo it went as it was in the beginning
EGileen Og was bent upon the winning
BAmig McGrath contentedly was grinning
BEmeing courted by the PAmride of PEmetravorAme
SFays he: "I know a girl that could kCnock you into fits"
AEmt that Eileen nearly Amlost her wits
TFhe upshot of the ruction was that Cnow the robber sits
WEmith his arm around the PrAmide of PetrEmavore Am
EFileen Og me Cheart is growin' grey,
EEmver since the day youAm wandered far away
EFileen Og there's Cgood fish in the say,
BEmut there's none of them like the PAmride of PEmetravoAmre
BAmoys, Oh boys, with fate 'tis hard to grapple
OGf my eye 'tis Eileen was the apple
NAmow to see her walkin' to the chapel
WEmith the hardest featured Amman in PEmetravorAme
NFow, boys, this is Call I have to say:
WEmhen you do your courtin'Am make no display
IFf you want them to run after you, just Cwalk the other way
FEmor they're mostly like the PAmride of PeEmtravoreAm
EFileen Og me Cheart is growin' grey,
EEmver since the day yAmou wandered far away
EFileen Og there's gCood fish in the say,
BEmut there's none of them like the PAmride of PEmetravoAmre
