[D]I am always light [G]hearted and [D]easy, not a care in the [G]world have [A]I

For I [D]know I am [G]loved by a [D]colleen, and I could not for[A]get her if I [D]tried

She [G]lives far away o’er the [D]mountain, where the little birds sing on the [A]trees

In a [D]cottage all [G]covered with ivy, my Eileen is [A]waiting for [D]me.

Chorus

It’s [G]over, it’s over the [D]mountain, where the little birds sing in the [A]trees

In a [D]cottage all [G]covered with [D]ivy, my Eileen is [A]waiting for [D]me.

The time i bade good-bye to Eileen is a time I will never forget
For the tears bubbled up from their slumbers I fancy I see them yet
They looked like the pearls in the ocean and she wept with her tale of love
And she said ‘My dear boy, don’t forget me, til we meet here again or above.’
