Eileen Óg

[Am]
Eileen Og an' that the darlin's name
 is
[G]
Through the Barony her features they
 were famous
[Am]
If we loved her then who was there 
to blame us
    [Em]                   
For wasn't she the Pride of 
 [Am]          [Em]  [Am]
Petravore?
[Am]          [C]
But her beauty made us all so shy
[Em]           [Am]
Not a man could look her in the eye
[Am]          [C]
Boys, Oh boys, sure that's the 
reason why
        [Em]                       
We're in mournin' for the Pride of 
[Am]        [Em]    [Am]
Petravore


  [Am]       [C]
:Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey,
[Em]                  [Am]
Ever since the day you wandered far 
away
[Am]            [C]
Eileen Og there's good fish in the 
say,
[Em]                              
But there's none of them like the 
        [Am]      [Em]  [Am]
Pride of Petravore

[Am]
Friday at the fair of Ballintubber
[G]
Eileen met McGrath the cattle jobber
[Am]
I'd like to set me mark upon the 
robber

[Em]                           
For he stole away the Pride of 
[Am]        [Em]   [Am]
Petravore
[Am]           [C]
He never seemed to see the girl at 
all
[Em]                    [Am]
Even when she ogled him from 
underneath her shawl
[Am]                     [C]
Lookin' big and masterful when she 
was lookin' small
[Em]                           
Most provokin' for the Pride of
[Am]       [Em]   [Am]
 Petravore

[Am]
So it went as 'twas in the beginning
[G]
Eileen Og was bent upon the winning
[Am]
Big McGrath contentedly was grinning
[Em]                          
Being courted by the Pride of 
[Am]     [Em]   [Am]
Petravore
[Am]                              
Sez he: "I know a girl that could 
                    [C]
knock you into fits"
[Em]                 [Am]
At that Eileen nearly lost her wits
[Am]                      [C]
The upshot of the ruction was that 
now the robber sits
[Em]                             
With his arm around the Pride of 
[Am]       [Em]   [Am]
Petravore


[Am]        [C]
Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey,
[Em]               [Am]
Ever since the day you wandered far 
away
[Am]             [C]
Eileen Og there's good fish in the 
say,
[Em]                              
But there's none of them like the 
        [Am]     [Em]  [Am]
Pride of Petravore


[Am]
Boys, Oh boys, with fate 'tis hard 
to grapple
[G]
Of my eyes 'tis Eileen was the apple
[Am]
Now to see her walkin' to the chapel
[Em]                            
With the hardest featured man in
[Am]      [Em]   [Am]
 Petravore
[Am]             [C]
Now, boys, this is all I have to 
say:
[Em]                  [Am]
When you do your courtin' make no 
display
[Am]                         [C]
If you want them to run after you, 
just walk the other way
[Em]                              
For they're mostly like the Pride 
  [Am]      [Em]   [Am]
of Petravore


[Am]         [C]
Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey,
[Em]               [Am]
Ever since the day you wandered far 
away
[Am]             [C]
Eileen Og there's good fish in the 
say,
[Em]                              
But there's none of them like the 
        [Am]     [Em]  [Am]
Pride of Petravore
