Pride of Petrovar

[Verse 1]
Well, Eileen Orr, oh, that's me darlin's name is
O'er the Barony her features they were famous
And if we loved her, well who is there to blame us
For wasn't she the Pride of Petrovar?

[Verse 2]
But her beauty was like to make you shy
Not a livin' boy could look her in the eye
Boys, oh, boys, now there's the reason why
We're in love with the Pride of Petrovar

[Chorus]
Eileen Orr, me heart is turning gray
Ever since the day you wandered far away
Eileen Orr, there's more fish in the sea
But there's none just like the Pride of Petrovar

[Verse 3]
Well, it was Friday at the fair at Ballintubber
Eileen met McGraw, the old horse trader
And I'd like to put me hands upon the robber
He stole away the Pride of Petrovar

[Verse 4]
Well, he never seemed to see her standing there at all
Even when she ogled him underneath her shawl
He was big and masterful while she was looking small
Most provokin' to the Pride of Petrovar

[Chorus]
Eileen Orr, me heart is turning gray
Ever since the day you wandered far away
Eileen Orr, there's more fish in the sea
But there's none just like the Pride of Petrovar

[Verse 5]
Well, as it is and it was in the beginning
Eileen's heart was set upon the winning
And to see McGraw contentedly a-grinning
To be courted by the Pride of Petrovar

[Verse 6]
Says he, "I know a girl that would knock you into fits"
At this our Eileen nearly lost her wits
The outcome of the whole thing is that now the robber sits
With his arms around the Pride of Petrovar

[Chorus]
Eileen Orr, me heart is turning gray
Ever since the day you wandered far away
Eileen Orr, there's more fish in the sea
But there's none just like the Pride of Petrovar

[Verse 7]
Well, argh me boys, the fate is hard to grapple
Of all those girls well our Eileen was the apple
And to see McGraw a-walking toward the chapel
Arm in arm with the Pride of Petrovar

[Verse 8]
Well, all I have is just one thing to say
If you go a courtin' then look the other way
If you want them to come after you, just look the other way
For they're mostly like the Pride of Petrovar

[Chorus]
Eileen Orr, me heart is turning gray
Ever since the day you wandered far away
Eileen Orr, there's more fish in the sea
But there's none just like the Pride of Petrovar
