I took a stroll on the old long walk

On a day I-ay-I-ay

I met a little girl and we stopped to talk

Of a fine soft day I-ay

And I ask you friend

What's a fella to do

'Cause her hair is black and her eyes are blue

And I knew right then

I'd be takin' a whirl

'Round the salthill prom with a galway girl

Ho

We were halfway there when the rain came down

On a day I-ay-I-ay

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 is black and her eyes are blue

I took her hand

And I gave her a twirl

Oh

And I lost my heart to a galway girl

Ho

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

Ha

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

'Cause I traveled around

I've been all over this world

Boys I ain't never seen nothing like a galway girl

Hey

Hey
