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

Day I ay I ay

With a broken heart and a ticket home

And I ask you now tell me what would you do

'Cause 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
