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