lyrics

Well I took a stroll
On the old long walk
Of a day

And I met a little girl
And we stopped to talk
Of a fine soft day

And I ask you, friend
What's a fella to do?
When her hair is black
And her eyes are blue

And I knew right then
I'd be taking a whirl
Around the Salt Hill prom
With a Galway Girl

We were halfway there
When the rain came down
Of a day
She took me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine soft day

And I ask you, friend
What's a fella to do?
When her hair is black
And her eyes are blue

And I knew right then
I'd be taking a whirl
Around the Salt Hill prom
With a Galway Girl

When I woke up
I was all alone
With a broken heart
And a ticket home

And I ask you, friend
What's a fella to do?
When her hair is black
And her eyes are blue

See, I've travelled around
Been all over the world, boys
And I've never seen nothing
Like a Galway Girl
