EILEEN O'GRADY
As sung by Josef Locke on "The Complete 1950's Masters" (2013)

1. There's a sweet little lady named Eileen O'Grady.
I wish I could call her my own;
And I won't be contented till she has consented
To be Mrs Barney Malone.
I first met this treasure out walkin' at pleasure
Alone on a bright summer's day.
Without any warnin' the top of the mornin'
I just said to her right away:

CHORUS: Come, come, beautiful Eileen, out for a drive with me,
Over the mountain and down by the fountain,
Home though the valley; dear, won't it be lovely?
Don't be unkind; make up your mind
On a drive to Castlebar.
To the road I'm no stranger; for you there's no danger,
So hop like a bird on me old jauntin' car.

2. Now, Eileen said, "No, sir; with you I won't go, sir.
Don't think it ungrateful of me,
But I'd rather go walkin' than have people talkin',
For you know what the story will be."
I then whispered, "Jewel, och! don't be so cruel.
To treat me this way is a shame.
Give over your blarney and say 'You're my Barney'
And don't keep me waiting in vain." CHORUS

3. When at last she consented, I felt quite contented.
For me, 'twas 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 you what's said:
She promised, begorrah, to share all me sorrow,
So to her I'll sing when we're wed: CHORUS
