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 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 fat downtown
Of a fine soft day-I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what´s 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 al 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
