| Lyrics: | THE GALWAY SHAWL
At Orenmore in the County Galway,
One pleasant evening in the month
of May,
I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome
Her beauty fairly took my breath
away.
Cho: She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,
No paint or powder, no,
none at all.
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
And round her shoulder
was a Galway Shawl.
We kept on walking, she kept on talking,
'Till her father's
cottage came into view.
Says she: 'Come in, sir, and meet my father,
And play to please
him " The Foggy Dew."
She sat me down beside the fire
I could see her father, he was
six feet tall.
And soon her mother had the kettle singing
All I could think of was the
Galway shawl.
I played "The Blackbird" and "The Stack of Barley",
" Rodney's Glory"
and "The Foggy Dew",
She sang each note like an Irish linnet.
Whilst the tears stood in
her eyes of blue.
'Twas early, early, all in the morning,
When I hit the road for
old Donegal.
She said 'Goodby, sir,'she cried and kissed me,
And my heart remained with
that Galway shawl.
