[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
Around the Salthill prom with a Galway girl, ha

[Verse 2]
We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day-i-ay-i-ay
She asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine soft day-i-ay

[Chorus]
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do?
Because her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand and I give her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh, when I woke up, I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
[Chorus]
And I ask you now, tell me, what would you do?
Oh, if her hair was black and her eyes were blue
'Cause I've traveled around, I've been all over this world
Boys, I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
No, I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
