Galway Shawl * - Artist
In Oran-[C]-more in the County Gal-[Em]-way,
One pleasant even-[Am]-ing in the [Dm] month of [F] May;
I spied a [C] damsel, she was young and [Em] handsome,
Her beauty [Am] fairly [F] took my [G] breath [C] away.
[Chorus]
|[NC] She wore no [C] jewels, no costly [Em] diamonds,
|No paint no [Am] powder, no [Dm] none at [F] all;
|She wore a [C] bonnet with ribbons on [Em] it,
|And 'round her [Am] shoulder [F] was a [G] Galway [C] shawl.
We kept on [C] walking, she kept on [Em] talking
Till her father's [Am] cottage came [Dm] into [F] view
She said Come [C] in, sir, and meet my [Em] father,
And play to [Am] please him [F] The [G] Foggy [C] Dew.
She sat me [C] down beside the [Em] fire,
I could see her [Am] father, he was [Dm] six feet [F] tall;
And soon her [C] mother had the kettle [Em] singing,
All I could [Am] think of [F] was the[G] Galway [C] shawl.
[Chorus]
|[NC] She wore no [C] jewels, no costly [Em] diamonds,
|No paint no [Am] powder, no [Dm] none at [F] all;
|She wore a [C] bonnet with ribbons on [Em] it,
|And 'round her [Am] shoulder [F] was a [G] Galway [C] shawl.
I played the [C] Blackbird and The Stack Of [Em] Barley,
Rodney's [Am] Glory, and the [Dm] Foggy [F] Dew;
She sang each [C] note like an Irish [Em] linnet,
And the tears they [Am] flowed [F] in her [G] eyes of [C] blue.
'Twas early [C] early, all in the [Em] morning
I hit the [Am] road for [Dm] old Done-[F]-gal
She said Good-[C]-bye, sir, she cried and kissed [Em] me,
And my heart re-[Am]-mained with [F] the [G] Galway [C] shawl.
[Chorus]
|[NC] She wore no [C] jewels, no costly [Em] diamonds,
|No paint no [Am] powder, no [Dm] none at [F] all;
|She wore a [C] bonnet with ribbons on [Em] it,
|And 'round her [Am] shoulder [F] was a [G] Galway [C] shawl.
