Eileen you& apos; re in love with a sailor man
With nine tattoos and a deep dark tan
Out on the sea is where he& apos; s supposed to be
His ship came to port in another town
You& apos; ve heard he& apos; s been messing around
Oh, Eileen can& apos; t you see
Wipe that tear from your eye
Get a little closer to me tonight
Lean on me eileen
I& apos; ll show you how it could be
I won& apos; t run around in another town
My feet are planted in your ground
Everything I say to you girl I mean
Lean on me eileen
Eileen you& apos; ve had more than you can stand
You& apos; ve got a problem but I& apos; ve got the plan
Let& apos; s get together we can start tonight
In these loving arms you I& apos; ll hold
I& apos; ll never let our love grow cold
You were wronged but I& apos; ll make it right
Wash that man from your mind
Get a little closer to me tonight
Lean on me eileen
I& apos; ll show you how it could be
I won& apos; t run around in another town
My feet are planted in your ground
Everything I say to you girl I mean
Lean on me eileen
If that sailor man comes back to town
An empty home is what will be found
