Galway Shawl

E B7 E A E E A E In Oranmore in the County Galway, A E A One pleasant evening in the month of May, F#m E A E I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome A E B7 E A E Her beauty fairly took my breath away E A E She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds, A E A No paint or powder, no, none at all. F#m E A E But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it A E B7 E A E And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl. E A E We kept on walking, she kept on talking, A E A 'Till her father's cottage came into view. F#m E A E Says she: 'Come in, sir, and meet my father, A E B7 E A E And play to please him " The Foggy Dew." E A E I played "The Blackbird" and "The Stack of Barley", A E A " Rodney's Glory" and "The Foggy Dew", F#m E A E She sang each note like an Irish linnet. A E B7 E A E While the tears flowed from her eyes so blue. E A E She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds, A E A No paint or powder, no, none at all. F#m E A E But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it A E B7 E A E And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl. E A E 'Twas early, early, all in the morning, A E A When I hit the road for old Donegal. F#m E A E She said 'Goodby, sir,'she cried and kissed me A E B7 E A E And my heart remains with the Galway shawl E A E She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds, A E A No paint or powder, no, none at all. F#m E A E But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it A E B7 E A E And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl.
