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

And I ask you friend What’s a fella to do
Because her hair was black and her eyes were blue,
And I knew right then I’d be taking a whirl
Round the Salthill prom with a Galway girl

We were half way there when the rain came down,
Of a day I ay I ay
And she took me up to her flat downtown,
On a fine soft day I ay,

And I ask you friend What’s a fella to do
Because her hair was black and her eyes were blue,
So I took her hand And I gave her a twirl
And then I lost my heart to a Galway girl

When I woke up I was all alone (awww),
With a broken heart and a ticket home,

And I ask you friend
Oh what would you to do,
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue,
See I've travelled around I've been all over this world, - boys—
And never seen nothing like a Galway girl
