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 If her hair was black and her eyes were blue And I knew right then, I'd be taking 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 gave her a twirl Then 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, been all over the world But 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, been all over the world But I've never seen nothin' like a Galway Girl
