Oh Eileen Og, now that me darlin's name is
G
Through the Barony her features they were famous
Am
If we loved her, who was there to blame us
Am Em Am
For wasn't she the Pride of Petravore?
F C
But her beauty made us all so shy
Em Am
A devil one among us could look her in the eye
F C
Boys, oh boys, now that's the reason why
Em Am
We're in mournin' for the Pride of Petravore
F C
Oh Eileen Og me heart has turned to grey grey,
Em Am
Ever since the day you wandered far away

Em Am Em Am
But there's none of 'em like the 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
Am Em Am
For he stole away the Pride of Petravore
F C
He never seemed to see the girl at all
Em Am
Even when she ogled him from underneath her shawl
F C
Lookin' big and masterful, she was lookin' small
Em Am
Provokin' to the Pride of Petravore
F C
Oh Eileen Og me heart has turned to grey grey,
Em Am
Ever since the day you wandered far away
F C
Eileen Og, there's good fish in the say,
Em Am Em Am
But there's none of 'em like the Pride of Petravore

Now it went as was in the beginning
G
Eileen Og was bent upon the winning
Am
That auld McGrath, he just kept on grinning
Am Em Am
Being courted by the Pride of Petravore
F C
Says he: 'I know a girl that would knock you into fits'
Em Am
With that remark, Eileen she nearly lost her wits
F C
The upshot of the ruction is that now the robber sits
Em Am
With his arm around the Pride of Petravore
F C
Oh Eileen Og me heart has turned to grey grey,
Em Am
Ever since the day you wandered far away
F C
Eileen Og, there's good fish in the say,

Oh Boys, Oh boys, with fate 'tis hard to grapple

Of me eye, now Eileen was the apple

With the hardest featured man in Petravore
F C
Boys, oh boys, do keep in what I say:
Em Am
When you are acourtin', do make no display
F C
If you want them to run after you, just look the other way
Em Am
For they're mostly like the Pride of Petravore
