D A D G D
[Verse 1]
D
In Oranmore in the County Galway,
G D G
One pleasant evening in the month of May,
Em D
I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome
G D A D - G - D
Her beauty fairly took my breath away
[Chorus]
D
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,
G D G
No paint or powder, no, none at all.
Em D
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
G D A D - G - D
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl.
[Verse 2]
D
We kept on walking, she kept on talking,
G D G
'Till her father's cottage came into view.
Em D
Says she: 'Come in, sir, and meet my father,
G D A D - G - D
And play to please him " The Foggy Dew."
[Chorus]
D
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,
G D G
No paint or powder, no, none at all.
Em D
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
G D A D - G - D
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl.
[Verse 3]
D
She sat me down beside the fire
G D G
I could see her father, he was six feet tall.
Em D
And soon her mother had the kettle singing
G D A D - G - D
All I could think of was the Galway shawl.
[Chorus]
D
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,
G D G
No paint or powder, no, none at all.
Em D
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
G D A D - G - D
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl.
[Verse 4]
D
I played "The Blackbird" and "The Stack of Barley",
G D G
" Rodney's Glory" and "The Foggy Dew",
Em D
She sang each note like an Irish linnet.
G D A D - G - D
While the tears flowed from her eyes so blue.
[Chorus]
D
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,
G D G
No paint or powder, no, none at all.
Em D
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
G D A D - G - D
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl.
[Verse 5]
D
'Twas early, early, all in the morning,
G D G
When I hit the road for old Donegal.
Em D
She said 'Goodby, sir,'she cried and kissed me
G D A D - G - D
And my heart remains with the Galway shawl
[Chorus]
D
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,
G D G
No paint or powder, no, none at all.
Em D
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
G D A D - G - D
