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

Of a fine soft day-I-ay

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

Around the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down

Of a day-I-ay-I-ay

She asked me up to her flat downtown

Of a fine soft day-I-ay

I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do?

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

Now I took her hand and I gave her a twirl

Oh, boys, now I lost my heart to a Galway girl

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?

Oh, if her hair was black and her eyes were blue

See I've traveled around, I've been all over this world

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