My Darlin' Eileen Lyrics - Singles - Wonderful Town

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
