THE GALWAY SHAWL CAPO 2 D DU D
​
G D / / G D / /
In Oranmore in the County Galway,
G D / / Em G / /
One pleasant evening in the month of May;
/ D / / G D / /
I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome,
G D / G A D / /
Her beauty fairly took my breath away.
​
[Chorus]
G D / / G D / /
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds,
G D / / Em G / /
No paint no powder, no none at all;
/ D / / G D / /
She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
G D / G A D / /
And 'round her shoulder was a Galway shawl.
G D / / G D / /
We kept on walking, she kept on talking,
G D / / Em G / /
Till her father's cottage came into view;
/ D / / G D / /
She said: Come in, sir, and meet my father,
G D / G A D / /
And play to please him The Foggy Dew.
G D / / G D / /
She sat me down beside the fire,
G D / / Em G / /
I could see her father, he was six feet tall;
/ D / / G D / /
And soon her mother had the kettle singing,
G D / G A D / /
all I could think of was the Galway shawl.
[Chorus]
G D / / G D / /
I played The Blackbird and The Stack Of Barley,
G D / / Em G / /
Rodney's Glory, and The Foggy Dew;
/ D / / G D / /
She sang each note like an Irish linnet,
G D / G A D / /
And the tears they flowed in her eyes of blue.
G / D / / G D / /
Twas early, early, all in the morning,
G D / / Em G / /
I hit the road for old Donegal;
/ D / / G D / /
She said: Goodbye,sir, she cried and kissed me,
G D / G A D / /
And my heart remained with the Galway shawl.
[Chorus]
