First Line: I'll love thee evermore
Last Line: Eileen a roon!
Subject(s): Mayo (county), Ireland


I'LL love thee evermore,
Eileen a Roon!
I'll bless thee o'er and o'er,
Eileen a Roon!
O, for thy sake I'll tread,
Where the plains of Mayo spread;
By hope still fondly led,
Eileen a Roon!

O, how may I gain thee?
Eileen a Roon!
Shall feasting entertain thee?
Eileen a Roon;
I would range the world wide,
With love alone to guide,
To win thee for my bride,
Eileen a Roon!

Then wilt thou come away?
Eileen a Roon!
O, wilt thou come or stay?
Eileen a Roon!
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,
Eileen a Roon!
A hundred thousand welcomes,
Eileen a Roon!
O, welcome evermore,
With welcomes yet in store,
Till love and life are o'er,
Eileen a Roon!
