[Verse 1]
In OranCmore in the County EmGalway,
One pleasant eAmvening in the mDmonth of MFay;
I spied a Cdamsel, she was young andEm handsome,
Her beauty Amfairly Ftook my Gbreath aCway.
[Chorus]
She wore no Cjewels, no costly Emdiamonds,
No paint no Ampowder, no Dmnone at aFll;
She wore a Cbonnet with ribbons Emon it,
And 'round Amher Fshoulder was aG Galway Cshawl.
[Verse 2]
We kept on Cwalking, she kept on Emtalking,
Till her fAmather's cottage Dmcame into Fview;
She said: CCome in, sir, and Emmeet my father,
And Amplay to Fplease him The GFoggy CDew.
[Verse 3]
She sat me Cdown beside the Emfire,
I could Amsee her father, he was Dmsix feet Ftall;
And soon her Cmother had the Emkettle singing,
And Amall I could Fthink of was the GGalway Cshawl.
[Chorus]
She wore no Cjewels, no costly Emdiamonds,
No paint no Ampowder, no Dmnone at aFll;
She wore a Cbonnet with ribbons Emon it,
And 'round Amher Fshoulder was aG Galway Cshawl.
[Verse 4]
I played The CBlackbird and The StEmack Of Barley,
Rodney'sAm Glory, and ThDme Foggy FDew;
She sang each Cnote like an IrEmish linnet,
And the Amtears theyF flowed in her Geyes of Cblue.
[Verse 5]
'Twas eCarly, early, all in theEm morning,
I hitAm the road Dmfor old FDonegal;
She said: GCoodbye, sir, she cried and Emkissed me,
And my Amheart reFmained with the GGalway Cshawl.
[Chorus]
She wore no Cjewels, no costly Emdiamonds,
No paint no Ampowder, no Dmnone at aFll;
She wore a Cbonnet with ribbons Emon it,
And 'round Amher Fshoulder was aG Galway Cshawl.
