[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

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
