The 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 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 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 And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do? 'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue I took her hand and I gave her a twirl And I lost my heart to a Galway girl 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 is black and her eyes were blue I've traveled around, I've been all over this world Boys, I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
