The Galway Shawl |
At Oranmore in the county Galway |
One pleasant evening in the months of May |
I spied a damsel; |
she was young and handsome |
Her beauty fairly took my breath away |
She worn no jewels, nor costly diamonds |
No paint nor powder, no none at all |
But she worn a bonnet with ribbons on it |
And 'round her shoulders was the Galway shawl |
We kept on walking, she kept on talking |
'Til her father’s cottage came in to view |
Said she, «Come in sir, and meet my father |
And play, to please him, 'The Foggy Dew'» |
She sat me down beside the hearthstone |
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 |
She worn no jewels, nor costly diamonds |
No paint nor powder, no none at all |
But she worn a bonnet with ribbons on it |
And 'round her shoulders was the Galway shawl |
I played, 'The Black Bird', 'The Stack of Barley' |
'Rodney's Glory' and 'The Foggy Dew' |
She sang each note like an Irish linnet |
And tears weld in her eyes of blue |
'Twas 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 remain with the Galway shawl |
She worn no jewels, nor costly diamonds |
No paint nor powder, no none at all |
But she worn a bonnet with ribbons on it |
And 'round her shoulders was the Galway shawl |
