The Galway Girl

Well, I took a stroll down the old long walk

On the day -I-ay-I-ay

Met a little girl and we stopped to talk

On a fine soft day-I-ay

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do?

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl

'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down

On a day-I-ay-I-ay

She asked me up to her flat downtown

On a fine soft day-I-ay

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do?

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl

And I lost my heart to the Galway girl

When I woke up I was all alone

With a broken heart and a ticket home

And I ask you now, tell me what would you do?

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

You see, I travelled around, been all over this world

Oh boys, I ain't seen nothin' like the Galway girl
