Sides face, Grand Square
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a day-i-ay-i-ay . . .
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
On a fine soft day i-ay...
Allemande and Weave
And I ask you friend, what’s a fella to do
‘Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I’d be takin’ a whirl
‘Round the salthill prom with a Galway girl

Circle Left
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a day-i-ay-i-ay . . .
Men Star Right, one time around,
Left Allemande, Weave ‘round that Ring
And I ask you friend, what’s a fella to do
‘Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

Heads (Sides) Square Thru four hands around
Around that Corner do a DoSaDo,
Swing Thru, Girls Circulate, Boys Trade
Boys Run Right, Bend the Line that way,
Star Thru, Square Thru, three quarters go
Swing that Corner and Promenade her home
So I took her hand, and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

I ain’t seen nothin’ like a Galway girl
