The 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-ay

And I ask you, friend, whats a fella to do

cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

And I knew right then Id 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

And she asked me up to her flat downtown

Of a fine soft day -i-ay-i-ay

And I ask you, friend, whats 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

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

Ive traveled around Ive been all over this world

Boys I aint never seen nothin like a galway girl
