brier - galway shawl lyrics
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.
