The Galway Girl
Sharon Shannon · Sharon Shannon Collection 1990-2005 [2006]
Well i took a stroll on the old long walk
on the day i-ay i-ay
Well i meet a little girl and we stopped to talk
on a grand soft day i-ay
And i ask you friend whats a fella to do
Coz her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And i knew right then i'd been taking a whirl
Down the Salthill Prom with a galway girl
HO
Were half way there when the rain came down
On the day i-ay i-ay
She asked me up to her flat down town
On a fine soft day i-ay
And i ask you friend whats a fella to do
Coz her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And i took her hand and i gave her a twirl
awwww and i lost my heart to a galway girl
Ho
And 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 traveled around
I've been all over this world
Boys, I ain't never seen nothing like a Galway girl
on the day i-ay i-ay
Well i meet a little girl and we stopped to talk
on a grand soft day i-ay
