Eileen Lyrics - Top O The Morning: Irish Collection - Bing Crosby

In a town on the sea, by the Castle Doonee 

The fairest of them all, was the maiden Eileen 

The bloom on her cheek was as fresh as the dew 

And her heart to a young fisher laddie was true 

At morn he would sail with the sun and the tide 

That he would return to his promised young bride 

And there on the shore, she could hear it so plain 

His voice in the wind singing soft thisain 

Eileen, my Eileen, oh, wait for me, wait Eileen

They were to be wed on a Sunday in May 

And fate was a joy to see Eileen so gay 

The morning before he set sail with the tide 

But he never returned to his promised young bride 

Oh, no never more was her heart light and warm 

Her lover he died, yes, he died in a storm 

But down by the shore, she could still hear so plain 

His voice in the wind, singing soft thisain 

Eileen, my Eileen, oh, wait for me, wait Eileen 

They say that her heart it was broken in two 

The lovely Eileen, ah, so young and so true 

And down by the shore they who loved her the best 

By the rock where she waited, they laid her to rest

Eileen, my Eileen, oh, wait for me, wait Eileen
