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
On a grand soft day -I-ay-I-ay

And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then, I'd be taking whirl
Down 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 took me up to her flat downtown
On a fine soft day -I-ay-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 gave her a twirl
Then I lost my heart to a Galway Girl

But when I woke up, I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home

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
But 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
But I've never seen nothin' like a Galway Girl
