Well, I took a walk round the old ol’ block 
              G
T’day I-ay-I-ay 
  D                                  
I met a little girl and we started to talk 
                  
That’s some day-i-ay 
      G        D                G        D 
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
           Bm       A             G         D   
When her hair was black and her eyes were blue 
      G           D           G        D
And I knew right then   I'd be takin' a whirl 
           Bm       A           G      D
On the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

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

When I woke up   I was all alone  
          G 
Ay-I-ay-I-ay
       Bm     A           G      D  A D
With a broken heart and a ticket home 
      G       D            G              D
And I ask you fair,  tell me what would you do
       Bm       A             G         D 
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 
       G        D                     G        D
I been traveln’ around, I' been all over the world
      Bm      A          G      D 
But I lost my heart to a Galway girl
