The Galway Girl

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk

Of a 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 been taken awhirl

Down to Salthill Prom' with a Galway girl

Oh

We're halfway there when the rain came down

Of 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

I took her hand and I give her a twirl

Oh, and I lost my heart to a Galway girl

Oh

Oh

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

Ha, if her hair's black and her eyes were blue?

'Cause I traveled around, I been all over this world

Boys, I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

Hey
