• The Galway Shawl

Near Oranmore in the County Galway,
One pleasant evening in the month of May,
I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome
Her beauty fairly took my breath away

Chorus:
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,
No paint or powder, oh no, no, none at all.
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
And round her shoulder was a Galway Shawl

We kept on walking, she kept on talking,
'Till her father's cottage came into view.
Says she, "Come in, sir, and meet my father,
And play to please him The Foggy Dew"

She sat me down beside the fire
I could see her father, he was six feet tall.
And soon her mother had the kettle singing
All I could think of was the Galway shawl

I played The Blackbird and The Stack of Barley
Rodney's Glory and The Foggy Dew
She sang each note like an Irish linnet.
Whilst the tears stood in her eyes of blue.

'Twas early, early, all in the morning,
I took the road for old Donegal.
She cried and kissed me, and she said goodbye, sir,
And my heart remained with that Galway shawl.
