The Galway Shawl
(Intro as in last line ) G D7 G
Near Aranmore in the County Galway
One pleasant evening in the month of May
I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome
Her beauty fair stole my heart away
Chorus
She wore no jewels nor costly diamonds
No paint or powder, no none at all
She wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
And round her shoulder was the Galway Shawl

We kept on walking, she kept on talking
Till her father's cottage came into view,
Said she, 'Come in, sir, and meet my father
And for to please him play the "Foggy Dew".
Chorus
She wore no jewels nor costly diamonds
No paint or powder, no none at all
She wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
And round her shoulder was the Galway Shawl
(Instant key change to "A")
I played the 'Blackbird' and the 'Stack of Barley'
'Rodney's Glory' and the 'Foggy Dew',
She sang each note like an Irish linnet
And the tears flowed into her eyes of blue.
Chorus
She wore no jewels nor costly diamonds
No paint or powder, no none at all
She wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
And round her shoulder was the Galway Shawl

'Twas early, early, all in the morning
I hit the road for old Donegal
Said she, "Goodbye, sir", as she cried and left me
And my heart remained with the Galway Shawl.
Chorus x 2
She wore no jewels nor costly diamonds
No paint or powder, no none at all
She wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
And round her shoulder was the Galway Shawl
She wore no jewels nor costly diamonds
No paint or powder, no none at all
She wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
And round her shoulder was the Galway Shawl
