American Old Time Song Lyrics: 02 Eileen Come Back To Me

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 2

EILEEN COME BACK TO ME
Sung by Miss Lulu Mortimer.

Eileen, sweet Eileen, ah, cruel the fate
My darling, that caused us to part;
Sadly I'm 'waiting both early and late,
Oh, come back thou star of my heart.
0h , that I could to your loving arms fly,
My darling across the blue sea,
My life I would give for one glance of your eye,
So, come back, my darling, to me.

Chorus.
No one can love you so fondly as I,
And no one so faithful can be;
My life I would give for ono glance of your eye,
So come back, my darling, to me.

Sad is my heart as I sit by the sea,
Or wander about on the shore;
Waiting for Eileen to come back to me,
Oh, come back, my darling, once more.
No one can love you so fondly as I,
And no one so faithful can be;
My life I would give for one glance of your eye,
So come back, my darling, to me.-Chorus.
