I took a stroll down the old long walk

Of the day I-ay-I-ay

I met a little girl and we stopped to talk

On a grand soft day I-ay

And I ask you friends, what's a fella to do? 

Because her hair was black and her eyes were blue

And I knew right then, I'd be takin a whirl

Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway Girl

We're halfway there when the rain came down

On the day I-ay-I-ay

And she took me up to her flat downtown

On a grand soft day I-ay

And I ask you friends, what's a fella to do? 

Because 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

With a broken heart and a ticket home

And I ask you friend, what would you do? 

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

See I've travelled around, I've been all over the world

Boys

I've never seen nothin like a Galway girl - Hey!
