Galway Shawl- *LH*
[Verse 1]
G Bm
In Oran--more in the County Gal--way,
Em Am C
One pleasant eve--ning in the month of May;
G Bm
I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome,
Em C D G
Her beauty fairly took my breath a--way.
[Chorus]
G Bm
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds,
Em Am C
No paint no powder, no none at all;
G Bm
She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
Em C D G
And 'round her shoulder was a Galway shawl.
G Bm
We kept on walking, she kept on talking,
Em Am C
Till her father's cottage came into view;
G Bm
She said Come in, sir, and meet my father,
Em C D G
And play to please him The Foggy Dew.
G Bm
She sat me down beside the fire,
Em Am C
I could see her father, he was six feet tall;
G Bm
And soon her mother had the kettle singing,
Em C D G
And all I could think of was the Galway shawl.
[Chorus]
G Bm
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds,
Em Am C
No paint no powder, no none at all;
G Bm
She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
Em C D G
And 'round her shoulder was a Galway shawl.
G Bm
I played The Blackbird and The Stack Of Barley,
Em Am C
Rodney's Glory, and The Foggy Dew;
G Bm
She sang each note like an Irish linnet,
Em C D G
And the tears they flowed in her eyes of blue.
G Bm
'Twas early, early, all in the morning,
Em Am C
I hit the road for old Donegal;
G Bm
She said Good--bye, sir, she cried and kissed me,
Em C D G
And my heart re--mained with the Galway shawl.
[Chorus]
G Bm
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds,
Em Am C
No paint no powder, no none at all;
G Bm
She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
Em C D G
And 'round her shoulder was a Galway shawl.
(SLOWING)
Em C D G
And 'round her shoulder was a Galway shawl.
