Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Galway Shawl 
Near Oranmore in the county Galway One pleasant evening in the month of may I spied a damsel she was fair and winsome Her beauty fairly stole my heart away 
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds No paint nor powder no, none at all She wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl 
As we were walking she kept on talking Until her cottage came into view She said "come in sir and meet me father And play to please him the Foggy Dew" She sat me down beside the hearthstone For'nenst her father who was six feet tall And soon her mother had the kettle boiling But I kept on thinking of the Galway shawl 
Chorus 
I played The Blackbird, The Stacks of Barley Rooney's Favourite and the Foggy Dew She sang each note like an Irish linnet And the tears came into her eyes of blue 'Twas early early, all in the morning I hit the road for oul' Donegal She said "goodbye" and then she kissed me And my heart remained with the Galway Shawl 
Chorus
