From Robbie O'Connell's version:

The Flower of Kilkenny

I once loved a flower in Kilkenny
and a beautiful creature was she
I loved her far better than any,
and I know that young darling loved me.

CHORUS
She's the beautiful Flower of Kilkenny
shall I gaze on her fair face no more?
I have roamed through the world and seen many,
but there's none like my Eileen , a Stór

I remember the first time I met her,
and I gawked at her hand I pursue.
And no man could have felt any better
when she swore she would always be true.

As she left me she gave me a token,
and that was an outburst of tears.
And the words that were generally spoken,
they've reigned in my memory for years.

For this was the last of the token,
to be given with a fond loving will;
And the words that were generally spoken,
they've reigned in my memory still.
