Galway girl

Steve Earle - The Galway Girl

Well I took a stroll on the old wild walk
On the day -I-ay-I-ay-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
On a fine soft day -I-ay
And I ask you friends, what's a fella to do
if her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down
On a day -I-ay-I-ay-ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
On a fine soft day -I-ay
And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do
if her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand and I gave it a twirl
then I lost my heart to a Galway girl

When I woke up I was all alone on the day i-ay i-ay-ay
With a broken heart and a ticket home on the fine soft day i-ay
And I ask you now,tell me what would you do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
I've travelled around I've been all over this world
Boys I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
