The Galway Girl by Steve Earle

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
Of a fine soft day -i-ay-i-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her (1)________ was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right (2)________ I'd be takin' a whirl
'Round the salthill prom with a galway girl
We were halfway there when the rain (3)________ down
Of a day -i-ay-i-ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine (4)________ day -i-ay-i-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her (5)________ were blue
So I took her (6)________ and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a galway girl
When I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you now, (7)________ me what would you do
If her hair was black and her eyes (8)________ blue
I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Boys I ain't (9)__________ seen nothin' (10)________ a galway girl
