1
In a town on the sea, by the Castle Doonee
2
The fairest of them all, was the maiden Eileen
3
The bloom on her cheek was as fresh as the dew
4
And her heart to a young fisher laddie was true
5
At morn he would sail with the sun and the tide
6
That he would return to his promised young bride
7
And there on the shore, she could hear it so plain
8
His voice in the wind singing soft this refrain
9
Eileen, my Eileen, oh, wait for me, wait Eileen
10
They were to be wed on a Sunday in May
11
And fate was a joy to see Eileen so gay
12
The morning before he set sail with the tide
13
But he never returned to his promised young bride
14
Oh, no never more was her heart light and warm
15
Her lover he died, yes, he died in a storm
16
But down by the shore, she could still hear so plain
17
His voice in the wind, singing soft this refrain
18
Eileen, my Eileen, oh, wait for me, wait Eileen
19
They say that her heart it was broken in two
20
The lovely Eileen, ah, so young and so true
21
And down by the shore they who loved her the best
22
By the rock where she waited, they laid her to rest
23
Oh, many the years that have past since that day
24
But maidens who wait for their lovers they say
25
But still on the shore they can hear it so plain
26
His ghost in the wind singing soft this refrain
27
Eileen, my Eileen, oh, wait for me, wait Eileen
