The Galway Shawl
Lyrics
[Verse 1] In Oranmore in the county Galway One pleasant evening in the month of May I spied a damsel she was young and handsome Her beauty fairly stole my breath away [Verse 2] We kept on walking, she kept on talking 'Til her father's cottage came into view She said " Come in sir and meet my father And play for him The Foggy Dew" [Chorus] She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds No paint, no powder, no none at all But she wore a bonnet, with a ribbon on it And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl [Verse 3] I played "The Blackbird" and "Stacks of Barley" "Rodney's Glory" and "The Foggy Dew" She sang each note like an Irish Linnet When the tears they fell from her eyes so blue [Chorus] She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds No paint, no powder, no none at all But she wore a bonnet, with a ribbon on it And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl [Verse 4] Was early early all in the morning I hit the road for old Donegal She said goodbye sir, she cried and kissed me My heart remains with the Galway shawl [Chorus] She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds No paint, no powder, no none at all But she wore a bonnet, with a ribbon on it And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl [Chorus] She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds No paint, no powder, no none at all But she wore a bonnet, with a ribbon on it And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl [Outro] And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl
