The Galway Girl

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 Of a fine soft day I-ay And I ask you friends, what's a fella to do? Because her hair was black and her eyes were blue And I knew right then I been takin' a whirl Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl We're 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 And I ask you friends, what's a fella to do? Because her hair was black and her eyes were blue So I took her hand, and I gave her a twirl Oh, and I lost my heart to a Galway Girl 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? If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 'Cause I've travelled around, I've been all over this world Boys, I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl Hey
