The Galway Girl - Sharon Shannon, Mundy

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

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

'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

And I 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

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 seen nothin' like a Galway girl
