Well I took a stroll
on the old long walk
of the day I-ay I-ay
I met a little girl
and we stopped to talk
of the fine soft day I-ay
and I ask you friend
What's a fella to do?
'Cause her hair's 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 on the
day I-ay I-ay
She asked me up
to her flat downtown
of a fine soft day I-ay
and I ask you friend
What's a fella to do?
'Cause her hair
was black
and her eyes
were blue
I took her hand
and I gave her a twirl
Oh 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
'Cos I've travelled around
I've been all
over this world
Boys I ain't never seen
nothin' like
a Galway Girl
hey!
