| | | I ’LL love thee evermore, | |
| Eileen a Roon! 1 | |
| I ’ll bless thee o’er and o’er, | |
| Eileen a Roon! | |
| O, for thy sake I ’ll tread, | 5 |
| Where the plains of Mayo spread; | |
| By hope still fondly led, | |
| Eileen a Roon! | |
| |
| O, how may I gain thee? | |
| Eileen a Roon! | 10 |
| Shall feasting entertain thee? | |
| Eileen a Roon; | |
| I would range the world wide, | |
| With love alone to guide, | |
| To win thee for my bride, | 15 |
| Eileen a Roon! | |
| |
| Then wilt thou come away? | |
| Eileen a Roon! | |
| O, wilt thou come or stay? | |
| Eileen a Roon! | 20 |
| O yes! O yes! with thee | |
| I will wander far and free, | |
| And thy only love shall be | |
| Eileen a Roon! | |
| |
| A hundred thousand welcomes, | 25 |
| Eileen a Roon! | |
| A hundred thousand welcomes, | |
| Eileen a Roon! | |
| O, welcome evermore, | |
| With welcomes yet in store, | 30 |
| Till love and life are o’er, | |
| Eileen a Roon! | |
