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
Of a fine soft day-I-ay-I-ay

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 takin' a whirl
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl (yeah!)

We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay
She asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine soft day-I-ay-I-ay
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, oh, boys, now
I lost my heart to a Galway girl

Oh, 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
Oh if her hair was black and her eyes were blue
See I've been travelling around, I've been all over the world
Oh, boys, I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
