Galway Girl

Well, I took a stroll down 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

So I ask you, friend, what's a boy to do?
Oh, 'cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
Oh, 'round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay
Oh, she asked me up to her flat downtown
On a fine soft day-I-ay-I-ay

And I ask you, friend, what's a boy to do?
Oh, '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
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay
With a broken heart and a ticket home
Of a fine soft day-I-ay-I-ay

So I ask you, friend, what's a boy to do?
Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
I've traveled around, I've been all over this world
Boys, I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
Oh, no no
I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
Oh, no no
I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
