VERSE 1:
Well I took a stroll on the ol’ long walk of a
day-i-ay-i-ay -
I 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 - - -
cus 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 - - - -

VERSE 2:
We were halfway there when the rain came down
on the 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 - - -
cus her hair was black and her eyes were blue - -
I took her hand - - and I gave her a twirl - - -
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl - - - -

[INTERLUDE]

VERSE 3:
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 - -
Cus I’ve traveled around - - I been all over this world -
boys - I - never seen nothin like a Galway girl - - - -
