The Galway Girl

(album: 3 Cheers For 30 Years - 2020)

Well, I took a stroll down the old long walk
On a day I ay I ay
Met a little girl and we stopped to talk
On a fine soft 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 taking a whirl
Round the salthill prom with a galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down
On a day I ay I ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
On a fine soft day 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 the 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
You see, I travelled around, been all over this world
Oh boys, I ain't seen nothing like the galway girl
