Eileen Recorded by Slim Whitman Written by Sylvia Fine and Max Liebman
G C In a town on the sea by the Castle Doonee D7 G The fairest of them all was the maiden Eileen C The bloom on her cheek was as fresh as the dew D7 G And her heart to a young fisher laddie was true
C G At morn he would sail with the sun and the tide E7 A7 D7 That he would return to his promised young bride G C And there on the shore she could hear it so plain D7 G His voice in the wind singing soft this refrain
C G Am D7 G Eileen my Eileen oh wait for me wait Eileen
C They were to be wed on a Sunday in May D7 G And fate was a joy to see Eileen so gay C The morning before he set sail with the tide D7 G But he never returned to his promised young bride
C G Oh no never more was her heart light and warm E7 A7 D7 Her lover he died yes he died in a storm G C But down by the shore she could still hear so plain D7 G His voice in the wind singing soft this refrain
C G Am D7 G Eileen my Eileen oh wait for me wait Eileen
C They say that her heart it was broken in two D7 G The lovely Eileen ah so young and so true C And down by the shore they who loved her the best D7 G By the rock where she waited they laid her to rest
C G Oh many the years that have past since that day E7 A7 D7 But maidens who wait for their lovers they say G C But still on the shore they can hear it so plain D7 G His ghost in the wind singing soft this refrain
C G Am D7 G Eileen my Eileen oh wait for me wait Eileen
