My Irish Ex

Oh, my Irish ex, he wasn't much for talking

I met him one night when the lights were low

We went out walking, ooh, and it sure felt nice

When he put his hands out, under the Galway light

Oh, red-headed stranger, where you off to now?

Well, I found me a rover, but he wouldn't settle down

Since he's gone, I do the best I can

But I'll always be a-waiting, and he'll always be my Galway man

My Irish ex, he wasn't much for talking

We went out dancing, then he took me home

Making love in the moonlight, and it sure felt nice

Lying next to that body, under the Galway light

Oh, red-headed stranger, where you off to now?

Well, I found me a rover, but he wouldn't settle down

Since he's gone, I do the best I can

But I'll always be a-waiting, and he'll always be my Galway man

My Irish ex, he wasn't much for falling

Well, he took flight, stole this heart of mine

Some boys, they take me dancing, some boys, they treat me real nice

But I'm stuck on my baby that I met in the Galway night

Oh, red-headed stranger, where you off to now?

Ooh, well, I found me a rover, but he wouldn't, wouldn't, wouldn't settle down

Since he's gone, I do the best I can

But I'll always be a-waiting, and he'll always be my Galway man

Till I'll always be a-waiting, and he'll always be my Galway man
