Dervish, Steve Earle - The Galway Shawl lyrics

[Dervish, Steve Earle - The Galway Shawl lyrics]

In 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 stole my breath away

We kept on walking, she kept on talking
'Til her father’s cottage came into view
She said " Come in sir and meet my father
And play for him The Foggy Dew"

She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
No paint, no powder, no none at all
But she wore a bonnet, with a ribbon on it
And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl

I played "The Blackbird" and
"Stacks of Barley"
"Rodney's Glory" and "The Foggy Dew"
She sang each note like an Irish Linnet
When the tears they fell from
Her eyes so blue



She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
No paint, no powder, no none at all
But she wore a bonnet, with a ribbon on it
And ’round her shoulders was a Galway shawl

Was early early all in the morning
I hit the road for old Donegal
She said goodbye sir, she cried and kissed me
My heart remains with the Galway shawl

She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
No paint, no powder, no none at all
But she wore a bonnet, with a ribbon on it
And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl

She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
No paint, no powder, no none at all
But she wore a bonnet, with a ribbon on it
And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl

And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl
