Galway Girl
Whirl around Love on Salthill Prom: The Galway Girl Tale
Lyrics
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Describing a stroll taken on the old long walk
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
Encountering a young lady and engaging in conversation
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Pondering what to do in this situation
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
Describing the girl's physical appearance
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
Realizing an inclination toward spending time with her
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
Planning to take a walk around the Salthill Promenade with her
We were halfway there when the rain came down
Getting caught in the rain halfway through the journey
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
Expressing a part of the melody
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
Invited by the girl to her apartment downtown
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
Expressing a part of the melody
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Reiterating the uncertainty in this situation
Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
Describing the physical attributes of the girl again
I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
Dancing with the girl and feeling an emotional connection
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
Falling in love with the Galway girl
When I woke up I was all alone
Awakening alone with a broken heart and plans to leave
With a broken heart and a ticket home
Expressing a part of the melody
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
Referencing a pleasant day
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
Asking for advice or opinions in this situation
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
Reiterating the physical description of the girl
I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Having traveled extensively but never encountering someone like the Galway girl
I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
Expressing awe at the uniqueness of the Galway girl
