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. We were halfway there when the rain. came down. Of a day -I-ay-I-ay. And 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. 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. I've traveled around I've been all over this world. Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
