verse 1: I know a valley fair, Eileen Aroon I know a cottage there, Eileen Aroon Far in that valley shade I know a tender maid Flower of the hazel glade, Eileen Aroon verse 2: Who in the dance so fleet, Eileen Aroon Who in the song so sweet, Eileen Aroon Dear are her charms to me Dearer her love for me Dearest her constancy, Eileen Aroon verse 3: Were she no longer true, Eileen Aroon What would her lover do, Eileen Aroon Fly with a broken chain Far o'er the sounding main Never to love again, Eileen Aroon verse 4: Youth will in time decay, Eileen Aroon Beauty must fade away, Eileen Aroon Castles are sacked in war Chieftains are scattered far Truth is a fixed star, Eileen Aroon
