歌詞

Well Eileen Orr, that's what me darlin's name is O'er the Barony her features they are famous And if we loved her, who was there to blame us For wasn't she the Pride of Petrovar? But her beauty was like to make you shy Not a livin' boy could look her in the eye Boys O boys! now here's the reason why We're in love with the Pride of Petrovar CHORUS Eileen Orr, me heart is turning gray Ever since the day you wandered far away. Eileen Orr, there's more fish in the sea, But there's none just like the Pride of Petrovar. Well it was Friday at the fair at Ballintubber Eileen met McGraw, the old horse trader And I'd like to put me hands upon that robber He stole away the Pride of Petrovar Well he never seemed to see her standing there at all Even when she ogled him from underneath her shawl He was big and masterful and she was quick and small Most provokin' to the Pride of Petrovar CHORUS Well, as it is, it was in the beginning Eileen's heart was set upon the winning And to see McGraw contentedly a grinning To be courted by the Pride of Petrovar Says he, 'I know a girl that would knock you into fits' At this our Eileen nearly lost her wits The outcome of the whole thing is that now the robber sits With his arms around the Pride of Petrovar. CHORUS Well, argh me boys, with fate 'tis hard to grapple Of all those girls, our Eileen was the apple To see McGraw a walking toward the chapel Arm and arm with the Pride of Petrovar Well all I have is just one thing to say If you go a courtin', then look the other way If you want them to come after you, just look the other way For they're all just like the Pride of Petrovar CHORUS //////////////// NOTES //////////////// Eileen Orr - Anglicized version of the Gaelic "Eileen Oge", meaning "Eileen the younger" Petrovar - Anglicized version of the Gaelic Pedar-a-Vore, a place name. This name appears on an 1836 Ordnance Map viewable here:
