Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
If 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
[Verse 2]
We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
And I ask you, friend, tell me what would you do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
[Verse 3]
Here we go, hey, here we go
Come on, everybody
[Verse 4]
This the sad verse everybody
[Verse 5]
When I woke up I was all alone
Got a  broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
[Verse 6]
Here we go, hey, here we go
Wheres all the people from Kilkenny here tonight?
Where's all the Kilkenny cats at ?
We're going to do a very famous Kilkenny song
This time we actually performed this label arty last year
This time last year when a Kilkenny go into the Ireland final
Again, are we going for three in a row, huh
Heres one called Highland Patty
