Pisałem jakiś czas temu o piosence zespołu The Kilkennys pt. "Chandelier Shop". Dziś króciutko o kolejnym ich kawałku: "The Galway Girl".

Tradycyjna, irlandzka melodia, pod którą nogi aż same zaczynają tupać. Prosty tekst, banalny wątek o facecie, który w pierwszej zwrotce spotyka pannę, w drugiej się w niej zakochuje, a w trzeciej budzi się w pustym łóżku, z biletem do domu. Potem jej szuka i nie może znaleźć.

Tu słowa:

*Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk *

• Of a day -I-ay-I-ay *

• I met a little girl and we stopped to talk *

• Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay *

• And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do *

• 'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue *

• And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl *

• 'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl *

• We were halfway there when the rain came down *

• Of a day -I-ay-I-ay *

• And she asked me up to her flat downtown *

• Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay *

• And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do *

• 'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue *

• So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl *

• And I lost my heart to a Galway girl *

• When I woke up I was all alone *

• With a broken heart and a ticket home *

• And I ask you now, tell me what would you do *

• If her hair was black and her eyes were blue *

• I've traveled around I've been all over this world *

• Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl*
