Intro:

 


Verse 1:

                                              
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk 

                                           
On a day -I-ay-I-ay 

                                              
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk 

                                              
On 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

Verse 2:

            
We were halfway there when the rain came down 

                                              
On 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, 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

Verse 3:

                                              
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 nothin' like a Galway girl
