Eileen O 'Grady, Come,
Come, Beautiful Lady
Now Eileen O 'Grady's a sweet Irish lady
I long far to call her my own
Sure I won't be contented
till she has consented
To be Mistress Barney Malone
I first met this treasure out
walking at leisure alone
on a bright summer's day
Without any warning the top of the morning
I just said to her right away
Come, come, beautiful Eileen,
come for a ride with me
Over the mountain, down by the fountain,
over the high road
and down by the by -road,
make up your mind, don't be unkind,
we'll drive to Castle Bar.
On the road I'm no stranger,
for you there's no danger,
so hop like a bird on the Argen
tine car.
Now Eileen said, no sir,
with you I won't go, sir,
don't think it ungrateful of me
Sure I'd rather be walking
than have people talking,
you know what a story it would be
I then whispered, Jewelock,
don't be so cruel
to treat me like this is a shame
Give over your blarney
and come with your barney down,
don't have me bleeding in vain
Come, come, beautiful Eileen,
come for a drive with me
Over the mountain, down by the fountain,
over the high road
and down by the by -road
Make up your mind, don't be unkind,
We'll drive to Castle Bar.
On the road I'm no stranger for you,
There's no danger,
So hop like a bird on the
Elginton car.
When at last she consented,
I felt quite contented,
For to me it was a moment of bliss.
As we drove through Killarney
without any blarney
From Eileen I stole a sweet kiss
We both sat together like
birds of a feather
Well, Whisper, I'll tell what was said
She promised Big Garret
to share joy and sorrow
So to her I'll sing when we're well
Come, come, you do so highly,
come for a night of peace
Over the mountains,
down by the fountain,
over the high road
and down by the fire
One thing of the mind,
don't be unkind,
so drive to castle fire
On the road I'm no stranger for you,
there's no singer so hot
like a bird
on the edge of Santa Clara.
