[D]Well I took a strool on the old long walk,Of a day I-ay I-[G]ayI[D] met a little girl and we stoppet to talk, Of a fine soft day I ay-I ayAnd I[G] ask you[D] friend whats a[G] fella to[D] doCause her[A] hair was[G] black and her eyes were[D] blue, And I[G] knew right[D] then id be[G] taking a[D] whirlRound the[A] Salthill prom with a[G] Galway[D] girl

[2]

We were half way there when the rain came down, Of a day I ay I ayAnd she asked me up to her flat downtown, On a fine soft day I ay-I ay, And I ask you friend whats a fella to do, Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue, So I took her hand and I gave her a twirlAnd I lost my heart to a Galway girl

[3]

When I woke up I was all alone, With a broken heart and a ticket home, And I ask you now whats a fella to do, If her hair was black and her eyes were blue, I've travelled around I've been all over this world, But I aint never seen nothing like a Galway girl

That's it, you repeat it all three times over for the full song. Some versions have solos after each of the verses. The solos are roughly the same notes as the verse with a bit of ad-libbing.
