D MajorD
In Oranmore in the County Galway,
  G+G    D MajorD            G+G
One pleasant evening in the month of May,

Her beauty fairly took my breath away

No paint or powder, no, none at all.
E minorEm       D MajorD
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
  G+G     D MajorD    A augmentedA        D MajorD - G+G - D MajorD
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl.

      D MajorD
We kept on walking, she kept on talking,
     G+G    D MajorD         G+G
'Till her father's cottage came into view.
E minorEm       D MajorD
Says she: 'Come in, sir, and meet my father,

She sat me down beside the fire
    G+G    D MajorD            G+G
I could see her father, he was six feet tall.
E minorEm      D MajorD
And soon her mother had the kettle singing

All I could think of was the Galway shawl.

" Rodney's Glory" and "The Foggy Dew",
E minorEm      D MajorD

While the tears flowed from her eyes so blue.

'Twas early, early, all in the morning,

When I hit the road for old Donegal.

And my heart remains with the Galway shawl
