Galway City The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem

As I roved out through Galway city
At the hour of twelve at night
Who should I see but a handsome damsel
Combing her hair by candlelight

"Lassie, I have come a-courting
Your fine favours for to win
And if you'll but smile upon me
Next Sunday night I'll call again"

A ratty attitude um to, um to
A ratty attitude um to, um day
A ratty attitude um to, um to
A ratty attitude um to, um day

"So to me you came a-courting
My fine favours for to win
What would give me the greatest pleasure
If you never did call again

What would I do when I go walking
Walking out in the morning dew?
What would I do when I go walking
Walking out with a lad like you?"

A ratty attitude um to, um to
A ratty attitude um to, um day
A ratty attitude um to, um to
A ratty attitude um to, um day
