[Verse 1]
D F#m
In Oranmore in the county Galway,
F#m Bm G A
One pleasant evening in the month of May;
A D F#m
I spied a damsel,she was young and handsom,
Bm A D G D
Her beauty fairly took my breath away.
[Chorus]
D F#m
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds,
Bm G A
No paint or powder, no none at all;
A D F#m
She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
Bm A D G D
And on her shoulder was the Galway shawl.
[Verse 2]
D F#m
We kept on walking, she kept on talking,
Bm G A
Till her father's cottage came into view;
A D F#m
She said: Come in, sir, and meet my father,
Bm A D G D
And play to please him The Foggy Dew.
[Chorus]
D F#m
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds,
Bm G A
No paint or powder, no none at all;
A D F#m
She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
Bm A D G D
And on her shoulder was the Galway shawl.
[Verse 3]
D F#m
She sat me down beside the fire,
Bm G A
I could see her father, he was six feet tall;
A D F#m
And soon her mother had the kettle singing,
Bm A D G D
And all I could think of was the Galway shawl.
[Chorus]
D F#m
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds,
Bm G A
No paint or powder, no none at all;
A D F#m
She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
Bm A D G D
And on her shoulder was the Galway shawl.
[Verse 4]
D F#m
I played The Blackbird and The Stack Of Barley,
Bm G A
Rodney's Glory, and The Foggy Dew;
A D F#m
She sang each note like an Irish linnet,
Bm A D G D
And the tears they flowed in her eyes of blue.
[Chorus]
D F#m
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds,
Bm G A
No paint or powder, no none at all;
A D F#m
She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
Bm A D G D
And on her shoulder was the Galway shawl.
[Verse 5]
D F#m
'Twas early, early, all in the morning,
Bm G A
I hit the road for old Donegal;
A D F#m
She said: Goodbye, sir, she cried and kissed me,
Bm A
And my heart remained with the Galway shawl.
[Chorus]
D F#m
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds,
Bm G A
No paint or powder, no none at all;
A D F#m
She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
Bm A D G D
And on her shoulder was the Galway shawl.
