I took a stroll down the old long walk On the day-I-ay-I-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk On a grand top day-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
Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
(Repeat):
We were halfway there when the rain came down On the day-I-ay-I-ay
And she took me up to her flat downtown Of a fine soft day-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 I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
So, when I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
(Repeat Chorus Chords):
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, I ve been over the world
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
Boy, I ve never seen nothin like a Galway girl.
