Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
I met a girl and we stopped to talk
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
Let me 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'd be takin' a whirl
'Round 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-ay
Let me ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
And when I woke up I was all alone
I had a broken heart and a ticket home
Let me ask you now, tell me what would you do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
Cause I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Boys, I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
Oh boys, I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
