Intro: Verse 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 Instrumental: Verse We were halfway there when the rain came down Of a day-I-ay-I-ay So, 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 Instrumental Verse 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 You see, I've traveled around, I've been all over this world But I've never seen nothin' like the Galway girl Outro
