| | | I’LL love thee evermore, | |
| Eileen Aroon! | |
| I’ll bless thee o’er and o’er, | |
| Eileen Aroon! | |
| Oh, for thy sake I’ll tread | 5 |
| Where the plains of Mayo spread, | |
| By hope still fondly led, | |
| Eileen Aroon! | |
| |
| Oh, how may I gain thee, | |
| Eileen Aroon? | 10 |
| Shall feasting entertain thee, | |
| Eileen Aroon? | |
| I would range the world wide, | |
| With love alone to guide, | |
| To win thee for my bride, | 15 |
| Eileen Aroon! | |
| |
| Then wilt thou come away, | |
| Eileen Aroon? | |
| Oh, wilt thou come to stay, | |
| Eileen Aroon? | 20 |
| Oh, oh, yes, with thee, | |
| I will wander far and free, | |
| And thy only love shall be, | |
| Eileen Aroon! | |
| |
| A hundred thousand welcomes, | 25 |
| Eileen Aroon! | |
| A hundred thousand welcomes, | |
| Eileen Aroon! | |
| Oh, welcome evermore, | |
| With welcomes yet in store, | 30 |
| Till love and life are o’er, | |
| Eileen Aroon! | | | | |
