Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I took a stroll down the old long walk
Of the day-I-ay-I-ay
I 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
Down to Salthill Prom' with a Galway girl
[Verse 2]
We were halfway there when the rain came down
On the day-I-ay-I-ay
She asked me up to her flat downtown
On a fine, soft day-I-ay
Can I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do?
Oh, '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 a Galway girl
[Verse 3]
So when I woke up, I was all alone
Oh, with a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you now, what would you do
Oh, if her hair was black, and her eyes were blue?
You see, I've traveled around, I've been all over the world
And boys, I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl, woo, ow
