The Galway Girl
A Whirlwind Romance in Galway: Love's Adventure Unfolds
Lyrics
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Describing a walk on the old long walk.
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
Expression of a pleasant day with repetitive syllables.
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
Encountering a girl during the walk and stopping to talk.
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
Emphasizing the pleasantness of the day.
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Asking for advice on what to do next.
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
Describing the girl's appearance with black hair and blue eyes.
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
Realizing an attraction and anticipating a romantic encounter.
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
Planning to take a stroll around Salthill Promenade with the Galway girl.
We were halfway there when the rain came down
Encountering rain while halfway through the stroll.
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
Reiterating the pleasantness of the day despite the rain.
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
Invited up to her flat in the city during the rain.
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
Reiterating the pleasantness of the day.
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Seeking advice on what to do in this situation.
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
Repeating the description of the girl's appearance.
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
Taking her hand and dancing with her.
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
Expressing falling in love with the Galway girl.
When I woke up I was all alone
Waking up alone with a broken heart.
With a broken heart and a ticket home
Reflecting on the aftermath of the romantic encounter.
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
Asking for advice on how to handle the situation.
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
Repeating the description of the girl's appearance.
I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Expressing the experience of traveling but never seeing anything like the Galway girl.
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the Galway girl.
Nah I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
Reiterating the unprecedented nature of the Galway girl.
