C: Words by Houston Collisson:
W: 1. Eileen Og for that the darlin's name is
W:    Through the barony her features they were famous
W:    And if we loved her who could ever blame us
W:    For wasn't she the pride of Petravore.
W:    But her beauty made us all so shy,
W:    Not a man among us could look her in the eye
W:    Boys, oh boys, that's now the reason why
W:    We're lamenting for the pride of Petravore.
W: Chorus:
W:    Eileen Og, me heart is turning grey
W:    Ever since the day you wandered far away
W:    Eileen Og, there's good fish in the sea
W:    But there's no one like the pride of Petravore.
W: 2. Friday night at the fair of Balatober [?]
W:    Eileen met McGrath, the cattle jobber
W:    I'd like to set me mark upon that robber
W:    For he stole away the pride of Petravore.
W:    He didn't seem to notice her at all
W:    Even when she ogled him underneath her shawl
W:    Lookin' big and masterful while she was lookin small
W:    Most provoking for pride of Petravore.
W: 3. So it went as it had in the beginning,
W:    Eileen Og was big upon the winnin'
W:    While big McGrath contentedly was grinnin'
W:    At being courted by the pride of Petravore.
W:    Said he, "I know a girl who could knock you into fits."
W:    At that lovely Eileen nearly lost her wits.
W:    But the upshot of the ruction is that now the robber sits
W:    With his arm around the pride of Petrovore.
W: 4. So, me boys with fate it's hard to grapple
W:    Of me eye, sure Eileen was the apple
W:    And now to see her going to the chapel
W:    with the hardest featured man in Petrovore.
W:    So me boys, here's all I have to say
W:    When you do your courtin', make no display
W:    And if you want them to run after you,
W:    Walk the other way
W:    For they're mostly like the pride of Petrovare.
