GALWAY SHAWL
TRADITIONAL/IRISH
Arranged by mac (also performed by mac)

7  -7 -6 6    -6 -7  7   -8 8  9
At Or-en-more in the County Galway,
9   9    -10 8  -8 7   7  8  -8     7  6      
One pleasant ev-en-ing in the month of May,
7 7    -7 -6 6    -6  -7  7     -8  8   9 
I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome
9   9  -10 8  -8 7  7    8  -8     7 7 
Her beauty fa-ir-ly took my breath a-way.

CHORUS:
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.
