Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk Of a day-I-ay-I-ay I met a little girl and we started to talk Of a fine soft day-I-ay And I asked you friend, what's a fella to do? Cause her hair was black, and her eyes so blue And I knew right then, I'd be takin' a whirl And I lost my heart to a galway girl ... We were half-way there when the rain came down Of a day-I-ay-I-ay She asked me up to her flat downtown Of a fine soft day-I-ay And I asked you friend, what's a fella to do? Cause her hair was black, and her eyes so blue So I took her hand, and I gave her a twirl And I lost my heart to a galway girl ... And when I woke up, I was all alone With a broken heart, and a ticket home And I asked you now, tell me what would you do? Cause her hair was black, and her eyes so blue And I travelled around, been all over this world And I never seen nothin' like a galway girl
