Eileen Lyrics by Joe DeVito

2025

For seven long years, I saw a woman named Eileen
And we went walking in the green, in the spring
And we got married in the fall
And for three more years, well she stayed connected to my side
And ever where I went she was nearby
Until that day my Eileen died

Yeah, so its ride Eileen
Ride on down that golden river stream
And I know for surely we will meet again
You will always be my friend
On its row, Eileen
Onto the next chapter you go, Eileen
And I'll be thinking 'bout you way down herе
So you got nothing much to fear

And for 3 more years, I wokе up every morning, drank my tears
And I thought I'd never see the sun again
Arising off of pain's fine end
And for months and months
Oh, I waited every day for death to come
And on many midnights, boys, I bit the gun
And in that hurricane I spun

Yeah, so it was go, go, go
Just keep moving down that lonesome road
Down to the sunny sands of Mexico, and up to California's coast
And so it's take your pain
All in your pocket with your silver change
And that silver locket you can lock again
When all this living comes to end

[Instrumental]

Now I'm an old, old man
Oh, I lived a thousand lives and made a couple friends
Perhaps I'll even see Eileen again
But only God knows when
And this here life's been long
And If I could, I'd sing it all in song
But me and singing don't much get along
Oh, and I must be moving on

So goodnight Eileen
I'll see you when I see the light, Eileen
And I know for surely we will meet again
And you will always be my friend
Oh, and I'll see you soon
Cause I see the angels circling 'round the moon
And I feel your ghost floating 'round my room
Yeah, I'll be seeing you soon
