Galway Shawl
G Bm
At Oranmore in the county Galway,
Em A7 C D7
One pleasant evening in the month of May,
G Bm
I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome,
Em D7 G C G
Her beauty fairly took my breath away.
G Bm
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,
Em A7 C D7
No paint nor powder no one at all,
G Bm
But she wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
Em D7 G C G
And around her shoulders was the Galway shawl.
G Bm
We kept on walking, she kept on talking,
Em A7 C D7
'Till her father's cottage came into view,
G Bm
Said she, Come in sir and meet my father,
Em D7 G C G
And play to please him, "The Foggy Dew."
G Bm
She sat down beside the hearth stone,
Em A7 C D7
I could see her father he was six feet tall,
G Bm
And soon her mother had the kettle singing,
Em D7 G C G
All I could think of was the Galway Shawl. |

There are Irish songs and more. If you buy some downloads you will help to support an old musician. What a wonderful idea!
