Galway Girl - Steve Earle

Galway Girl - Steve Earle

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-I-ay 

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue 

And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl 

'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl 

We were halfway there when the rain came down 

Of a day -I-ay-I-ay 

And she asked me up to her flat downtown 

Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay 

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue 

So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl 

And I lost my heart to a Galway girl 

When I woke up I was all alone 

With a broken heart and a ticket home 

And I ask you now, tell me what would you do 

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 

I've traveled around I've been all over this world 

Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
