Eileen, Eileen
Prettiest girl you ever seen
Eileen, Eileen alright

She was born a scrapper, looking mighty dapper back in ’77
Makes me kinda wonder what kinda thunder went missing up in Heaven

Eileen, Eileen
Prettiest gal I ever seen
Eileen, Eileen alright

She could rob the boys of the playground joys they so dearly sought
They’d forever miss her as they try to kiss her cause she won’t be caught

Eileen, Eileen
The fastest girl in the entire world
Eileen, Eileen alright

Eileen, Eileen
It’s hard for an angel without her wings
Eileen, Eileen alright

When you and me crossed paths by the railroad tracks you had me on my heels
And as the moon rolled by I had a hard time trying beliveing you were real

Eileen, Eileen
The ghost of some long fallen queen
Eileen, Eileen alright

Eileen, Eileen
To hold your hand made me understand what it means to be alright


We coulda thrown in the towel ten rounds ago but we’re still here swinging
Our song coulda ended so long ago but we just keep on singing

I want to grow old with you til my bones are glue and my hair is gone
And tell our babies’ kids all about you and sing them this song

Eileen, Eileen
The prettiest gal I ever seen
Eileen, Eileen alright
Eileen, Eileen
Prettiest gal, I can’t believe I get you all for me
Alright
