Oh the moment was sad when my love and I parted, Savourneen, Deelish Eileen oge As I kiss'd off her tears I was nigh broken hearted Savourneen Deelish Eileen oge. Wan was her cheek which hung an my shoulder Damp was her hand, no marble was colder, I felt that 1 never again should behold her Savourneen Deelish Eileen oge.
When the word of command put our men into motion, Savourneen Deelish, Eileen oge, I buckled my knapsack to cross the wide ocean, Savourneen Deelish, Eileen oge. Brisk were our troops all roaring like thunder, Pleas'd with the voyage impatient for plunder My bosom with Brief, was almost torn asunder, Savourneen Deelish, Eileen oge.
Long I fought for my country, tho' far my from true love, Savourneen Deelish, Eileen oge; All my pay and my booty 1 hoarded for you love, Savourneen Deelish, Eileen oge. Peace was proclaim'd, escap'd from the slaughter. Landed at home my sweet girl I sought her. But sorrow alas, to her cold grave, had brought her Savourneen Deelish, Eileen oge.
