My Darlin` Eileen Lyrics

My Darlin` Eileen lyrics

Take it from me

In Dublin's fair city

There's none half so pretty

As pretty Eileen



Take it from me

The mayor of Shannon

Would shoot off a cannon

And crown ye the queen



Darlin' Eileen, darlin' Eileen

Fairest colleen that ever I've seen

And it's oh I wish I were back

In the land of the green with my darlin' Eileen



I've seen them all

There's Bridget and Sheila

There's Kate and Delilah

And Moll and Maureen



I've seen them all

Not one can compete with

Or share the same street with

My darlin' Eileen



Darlin' Eileen, darlin' Eileen

Fairest colleen that ever I've seen

And it's oh I wish I were back

In the land of the green with my darlin' Eileen



Listen my lads, I've something to tell you

I hope won't impel you to cry and to keen

Mother's a Swede and father's a Scot

And so Irish I'm not and I never have been



Hush you, Eileen, hush you, Eileen

Fairest colleen that ever I've seen

Don't you hand us none of that blarney

You come from Kilarney, you're Irish Eileen



Eileen
