Of a day I-ay I-[G]ay

I[D] met a little girl and we stoppet to talk

Of a fine soft day I ay-I ay

And I[G] ask you[D] friend whats a[G] fella to[D] do

Cause her[A] hair was[G] black and her eyes were[D] blue

And I[G] knew right[D] then id be[G] taking a[D] whirl

Round the[A] Salthill prom with a[G] Galway[D] girl

[2]

We were half way there when the rain came down

Of a day I ay I ay

And she asked me up to her flat downtown

On a fine soft day I ay-I ay

And I ask you friend whats 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

[3]

When I woke up I was all alone

With a broken heart and a ticket home

And I ask you now whats a fella to do

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

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

But I aint never seen nothing like a Galway girl
