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
 And 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
 So 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 was 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
