[Verse 1]
In OranCmore in the County Galway,
One Fpleasant eCvening in the month of FMay;
I spied a Cdamsel, she was young and handsome,
Her Fbeauty fCairly took my Gbreath aCway.
[Chorus]
She wore no Cjewels, no costly diamonds,
No Fpaint no Cpowder, no none at Fall;
She wore a Cbonnet with ribbons on it,
And 'rFound her sChoulder was a GGalway sChawl.
[Verse 2]
We kept on Cwalking, she kept on talking,
Till her fFather's coCttage came into Fview;
She said: CCome in, sir, and meet my father,
And Fplay to Cplease him The GFoggy CDew.
[Verse 3]
She sat me Cdown beside the fire,
I could Fsee her fCather, he was six feet tFall;
And soon her Cmother had the kettle singing,
And Fall I could Cthink of was the GGalway sChawl.
[Chorus]
She wore no Cjewels, no costly diamonds,
No Fpaint no Cpowder, no none at Fall;
She wore a Cbonnet with ribbons on it,
And 'rFound her sChoulder was a GGalway sChawl.
[Verse 4]
I played The CBlackbird and The Stack Of Barley,
FRodney's CGlory, and The Foggy FDew;
She sang each Cnote like an Irish linnet,
And the Ftears they Cflowed in her Geyes of Cblue.
[Verse 5]
'Twas eCarly, early, all in the morning,
I hitF the rCoad for old DoneFgal;
She said: GCoodbye, sir, she cried and kissed me,
And my Fheart reCmained with the GGalway Cshawl.
[Chorus]
She wore no Cjewels, no costly diamonds,
No Fpaint no Cpowder, no none at Fall;
She wore a Cbonnet with ribbons on it,
And 'rFound her sChoulder was a GGalway sChawl.
