Lyrics

V1: Last night as I lay on my pillow
A vision came into my view
Of a ship sailing out on the ocean
And the wind it tremendously blew.
V3: In thought I addressed this fair maiden
And asked her the cause of her sighs
Saying cheer up my handsome young maiden
And I'll be your slave til I die.
V4: She looked at me in meditation
As the tears from her blue eyes did flow
Saying I'm a poor exile from Erin
The land where the sweet shamrocks grow.
V5 My name it is Eileen McMahon
My age it is scarcely eighteen
And I thank you dear sir for your kindness
For you don't know how lonely I've been.
V6: For the want of employment in Ireland
I was forced as an exile to roam
Far away from my home in Killarney
Where in childhood I longed for to be.
V7: Far away from each mountain and valley
From Punch bowl to the gap of Dunloe
All around by the sweet shores of Muckross
And that beautiful spot of Aghadoe
V8: It was then I awoke from my slumber
To gaze at my Eileen mo chroí
It was only the face of my mother
As fondly she gazed at me
V9: Now, the ship on the ocean has vanished
In fancy I see her once more
My beautiful Eileen McMahon
The pride of Old Erin's green shore.
My beautiful Eileen McMahon
The pride of Old Erin's green shore.
