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
