Well i took a strole on the old long walk on the day ia ia ay i met a little girl and we stopped to talk on a grand soft dai ai ia ay
And i ask you friend whats a fella to do becoz her hair was black and her eyes were blue And i knew right then i'd been taking a whirl Down the Salthill prom with a galway girl
Were halfway there when the rain came down On the day ia ai ay She asked me up to her flat down town On a grand soft day ai ai ay
And i ask you friend whats a fella to do Coz her hair was black and her eyes were blue And i took her hand and i gave her a twirl and i lost my heart to a galway girl
And 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 Coz i'd travelled around I've been all over this world Course ive never seen nothing like a galway girl
