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

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

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
