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