歌词
Near Oranmore in the County Galway
One pleasant evening in the month of May
I spied a damsel, she was fair and winsome
Her beauty fairly stole my breath away
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
No paint nor powder, no none at all
She wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl
We kept on walking, we kept on talking
Until her cottage came into view
She said, "Come in, sir, and meet my father
And play to please him 'The Foggy Dew'"
I played "The Blackbird", "The Stacks of Barley"
"Rodney's Favorite" and "The Foggy Dew"
She sighed each note like an Irish linnet
And tears came into her eyes of blue
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
No paint nor powder, no none at all
She wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl
Then we sat down for an Anstahearn song
Beside her father who's sixty-two
And soon her mother had the kettle boiling
And I kept on thinking of the Galway shawl
'Twas early early all in the morning
I ne'er will go for a money more
She said, "Goodbye, sir" then cried and kissed me
And my heart remained with the Galway shawl
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
No paint nor powder, no none at all
She wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl
And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl
