connie foley - galway shawl lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
near 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 took my breath away

[verse 2]
she wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
not paint or powder, no, none at all
she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
and round her shoulders was a galway shawl

[verse 3]
we kept on walking, she kept on talking
’til her father’s cottage came into view
said she, “come in, sir”, and meet me father
and play to please him, ‘the foggy dew’

[verse 4]
i played ‘the black bird’, ‘the stack of barley
‘old rodney’s glory’ and ‘the foggy dew’
she sang each note like an irish linnet
and tears stood in her eyes of blue

[verse 5]
she wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
not paint or powder, no, none at all
she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
and round her shoulders was a galway shawl

[verse 6]
it was early, early, all in the morning
i hit the road, for old donegal
said she, “goodbye, sir”, she cried and kissed me
but my heart remained with the galway shawl

[verse 7]
she wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
not paint or powder, no, none at all
she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
and round her shoulders was a galway shawl
