[Verse 1]
On Oranmore, in the county Galway
One summers morning in the month of May
He spied a cailín, she was tall and handsome
And she nearly stole his poor heart away
[Verse 2]
She wore no jewels nor costly diamonds
No paint or powder, or none at all
She wore a bonnet with red roses on it
And on her shoulders hung the Galway shawl
[Verse 3]
He played "The Blackbird" and "The Stack of Barley"
And "Rodney's Glory" and "The Foggy Dew"
She sang each note like an Irish linnet
Till down her cheeks came the tears like dew
[Verse 4]
She set out early on next morning
To hit the road for Donegal
She kissed and hugged him and then she left him
And she stole his heart in her Galway Shawl
