The Galway Girl

I took a stroll down the old long walk on the day-i-ay-i-ay

I met a little girl and we stopped to talk on the grand soft day-i-ay

And I asked 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

Down the salt hill prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down on the day-i-ay-i-ay

And she took me up to her flat down town on a fine soft day-i-ay

And I ask you friend

What's a fella to do?

If 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 a Galway girl

So when I woke up, I was all alone

With a broken heart and a ticket home

And I ask you friend (and I ask you friend)

What's a fella to do? (What's a fella to do?)

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

See, I've traveled around (see, I've traveled around)

I've been all over the world (been all over the world)

I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

And I ask you, "Friend" (And I ask you, friend)

"What's a fella to do?" (What's a fella to do?)

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

See, I've traveled around (See, I've traveled around)

I've been all over the world (Been all over the world)

Boy, I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
