Well I took a strool on the old long walk
Of a day I-ay I-ay
I met a little girl and we stoppet to talkOf a fine soft day I ay-I ay
And I ask you friend whats a fella to do
Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then id be taking a whirl
Round the Salthill prom with a Galway girl
[2]
We were half way there when the rain came down
Of a day I ay I ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
On a fine soft day I ay-I ay
And I ask you friend whats 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
[3]
When I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you now whats a fella to do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
I've travelled around I've been all over this world
But I aint never seen nothing like a Galway girl
