Eileen a Roon

Thomas Furlong

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!

0, 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!
0, 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!
0, welcome evermore.
With welcomes yet in store.
Till love and life are o'er,
Eileen a Roon!
