Liz Madden (My Irish Home)

Galway Shawl

공유하기
Near Oranmore,
in the County Galway
One pleasant evening
in the month of May
I spied a damsel,
she was young and handsome
Her beauty fairly took
my breath away.

She wore no jewels
or costly diamonds
No paint or powder,
oh no none at all
She wore a bonnet
with ribbons on it
And around her shoulder
was the Galway shawl

As we kept on walking,
she kept on talking
Till her fathers cottage,
it came into view
Said she ‘Come in Sir,
and meet my father
And for to please him
play the Foggy Dew'
I played the Blackbird
and the Stack of Barley
Oh Rodney's Glory
and the Foggy Dew
She sang each note like
an Irish Linnet
And the tears flowed
in her eyes of blue

She wore no jewels
or costly diamonds
No paint or powder,
oh no none at all
She wore a bonnet
with ribbons on it
And around her shoulder
was the Galway shawl

'Twas early, early,
all in the morning
I took the road for
old Donegal
Said she Goodbye Sir,
I dried my eye for
My heart remained
with the Galway shawl

She wore no jewels
or costly diamonds
No paint or powder,
oh no none at all
She wore a bonnet
with ribbons on it
And around her shoulder
was the Galway shawl
