Through the Barony her features they were famous
G
E
Am
If we loved her then who was there to blame us
E
Am
E
Am
For wasn’t she the Pride of Petravore?
F
But her beauty made us all so shy
E
Am
Not a man could look her in the eye
F
C
E
Boys, oh boys, sure that’s the reason why
Am
E
Am
E

We’re in mournin’ for the Pride of Petravore

Eileen met McGrath the cattle jobber

E

I’d like to set me mark upon the robber

For he stole away the Pride of Petravore
F

He never seemed to see the girl at all
E

Even when she ogled him from underneath her shawl
F
C
E
Lookin’ big and masterful when she was lookin’ small
Am
E

E

Most provokin’ for the Pride of Petravore

So it went as ’twas in the beginning

Eileen Óg was bent upon the winning
Am
E

Big McGrath contentedly was grinning

E

Being courted by the Pride of Petravore
F
C
Sez he: “I know a girl that could knock you into fits”
E
Am
At that Eileen nearly lost her wits
F
C
E
The upshot of the ruction was that now the robber sits
Am
E
Am
E

With his arm around the Pride of Petravore

Boys, Oh boys, with fate ’tis hard to grapple
G

Of my eyes ’tis Eileen was the apple
Am
E

Now to see her walkin’ to the chapel
Am

E

With the hardest featured man in Petravore
F
C
Now, boys, this is all I have to say
E
Am
When you do your courtin’ make no display
F
C
E
If you want them to run after you, just walk the other way
Am
E
Am
E
Am
For they’re mostly like the Pride of Petravore
