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
