I took a stroll down
the old long walk
of a day IayIay
I met a little girl and
we stopped to talk
on a fine soft day IayIay
and i ask you friend
what`s a fellah to do
cause her hair was black
and her eyes were blue
and i knew right then
I'd been taking a whirl
down the salthill Prom
with a Galway girl
we are halfway there
when the rain came down
on the day IayIay
she asked me up
to her flat downtown
on a fine soft day IayIay
and I ask you friend
what's a fellah to do
oh cause her hair was black
and her eyes were blue
so why took her hands
and I gave up her a twirl
and I lost my heart
to a galway girl
oh
so when I woke up
I was all alone
with a broken heart
and a ticket home
and I ask you now
what would you do
oh if her hair was black
and her eyes were blue.
if she`s traveled around
I've been a over the world
boys I've never seen nothin'
like a galway girl
