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

On a grand soft day -I-ay-I-ay

And I 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

Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down

On a day -I-ay-I-ay

And she took me up to her flat downtown

On a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay

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

If 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

But when I woke up I was all alone

With a broken heart and a ticket home

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

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

See I've traveled around I've been all over the world

I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

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

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

See I've traveled around I've been all over the world

I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
