Galaway Girl

Galaway Girl - Ronnie Ross

Well I took a stroll on the old long walk

On 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 is black and her eyes are 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

On a day -I-ay-I-ay

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

'Cause her hair is black and her eyes are 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

'Cause I traveled around I've been all over this world

Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a galway girl
