Pride of Petrovar
Eileenor is what my darlin's name is
O'er the barony her features they are famous
And if we loved her who was there to blame us
For wasn't she the Pride of Petrovar
Ah her beauty was that to make you shine
Not a livin' boy could look her in the eyen
Boys oh boys! now here's the reason why
We're in love with the Pride of Petrovar
2..3..4
Eileen Ohr
My heart's turning gray
Ever since the day I wandered far away
Eileen Ohr
There's more fish in the sea
But there's none thats like the Pride of Petrovar
It was Friday at the fair at Balin Tuber
Eileen met McGraw, the old horse trader
And I'd like to put me hands upon that robber
he stole away the Pride of Petrovar
He never seemed to see her there a standing there at all
Even when she oogled him from underneath her shawl
He was big and masterful, she was quick and small
Most provokin' to the Pride of Petrovar
2..3..4..........
As it is, it was in the beginning
Eileen's heart was set upon the winning
And to see McGraw he'd better be a grinning
To be courted by the Pride of Petrovar
Says he I've known a girl that would knock you into bits
At this our Eileen nearly lost her wits
And the upshot of the whole thing is that now the robber sits
With his arms around the Pride of Petrovar
2..3..4..........
Ah me boys with fate it's hard to grapple
Of all those girls Eileen was the apple
And to see McGraw walking towards the chapel
Arm in arm with the Pride of Petrovar
Well all I had was just one thing to say
When you go a courting make no display
If you want 'em to come after you, just look the other way
'Cause they're all just like the Pride of Petrovar
2...3...4..........
