My Darlin' Eileen

My Darlin' Eileen Song Lyrics

---

4TH COP:
Take it from me
In Dublin's fiar 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

ALL COPS:
Darlin' Eileen
Darlin' Eillen
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

GALJOUR:
I've seen them all
There's Bridget and Sheila

KOLE:
There's Kate and Deli...lah
And Moll and Maureen

ROBINSON:
I've seen them all
Not one can compete with...

ANDERSON:
Or share the same street with
My darlin' Eileen

ALL COPS:
Darlin' Eileen
Darlin' Eillen
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

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

ALL COPS:
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!
