The Galway Girl

I took a stroll down the old long walk 
On a day-I-ay-I-ay 
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk 
On a grand 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 
Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl 

We were halfway there when the rain came down 
On the day-I-ay-I-ay 
And she asked me up to her flat downtown 
On a fine soft day-I-ay-I-ay 
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do?
If 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 
 
So when I woke up I was all alone 
With a broken heart and a ticket home 
And I ask you, friend
(And I ask you, friend)
What's a fella to do?
(What's a fella to do?)
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 
See, I've traveled around
(See, I've traveled around)
I've been all over the world
(Been all over the world)
I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

And I ask you, friend
(And I ask you, friend)
What's a fella to do?
(What's a fella to do?)
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 
See, I've traveled around
(See, I've traveled around)
I've been all over the world
(Been all over the world)
I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
