| lyric | 1. I am always lighthearted and easy,
not a care in the world have I,
For I know I am loved by a colleen,
and I could not forget if I tried,
She lives far away o’er the mountain,
where the little bids sing on the trees,
In a cottage all covered with ivy,
My Eileen is waiting for me,
It’s over, it’s over the mountain,
where the little birds sing on the trees,
Chorus:
In a cottage all covered with ivy,
me Eileen is waiting for me.
2. The time I bade goodbye to Eileen,
Is atime I will never forget,
For the tears bubbled up from their slumbers,
I fancy I see them yet.
They looked like the pearls in the ocean,
As she wept her tale of love,
And she said ‘My dear boy don’t forget me,
Till we meet here again or above’. |
