W:  Eileen Oge
W:  (From The Dubliners CD 30, Years-a-Greying)
W:
W:Eileen Oge and that the darlin's name is
W:Through the Barony her features they were famous
W:If we loved her who is there to blame us 
W:for wasn't she the pride of Petravore
W:But her beauty made us all so shy
W:Not a man could look her in the eye
W:Boys oh Boys sure that's the reason why
W:We're in mournin' for the Pride of Petravore
W:
W:Chorus
W:Eileen Oge! me heart is growin' grey
W:Ever since that day, you wandered far away
W:Eileen Oge! there's good fish in the say
W:But there's no one like the Pride of Petravore. 
W:
W:Friday at the fair of Ballintubber,
W:Eileen met McGrath the cattle jobber,
W:I'd like to set me mark upon the robber
W:For he stole away the Pride of Petravore.
W:He never seemed to see the girl at all
W:Even when she ogled him underneath her shawl,
W:Lookin' big and masterful when she was lookin' small,
W:Most provoking for the Pride of Petravore.
W:Chorus
W:
W:So it went as it was in the beginning,
W:Eileen Oge was bent upon the winning;
W:Big McGrath contentedly was grinning,
W:Being courted by the Pride of Petravore.
W:Sez he "I know a girl who could knock you into fits,"
W:At that Eileen nearly lost her wits,
W:The upshot of the ruction was that now the robber sits
W:With his arm around the Pride of Petravore.
W:Chorus
W:
W:Boys, O boys! with fate 'tis hard to grapple,
W:Of my eye 'tis Eileen was the apple,
W:And now to see her walkin' to the chapel
W:Wid the hardest featured man in Petravore.
W:And now boys this is all I have to say;
W:When you do your courtin' make no display,
W:If you want them to run after you just walk the other way
W:For they're mostly like the Pride of Petravore.
W:Chorus
W:
