Galway Girl - Mundy with Sharon Shannon (H.Q.)

I took a stroll down the old long walk on a day -I-ay-I-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk on a grand soft day -I-ay-I-ay
Well I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Because 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
We were halfway there when the rain came down on the day -I-ay-I-ay
She asked me up to her flat downtown
on a grand soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do
Ah - because her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand - and I gave it a twirl
Then I lost my heart to a Galway girl
Oi!
Well when I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you friend, what would you do?
Well if her hair were black and her eyes were blue
And I've been all around, I've been all over this world
Boys - I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
From Live at Dolans:

It's a fine version. Steve Earle wrote this while staying with Sharon in Galway where she lives. She actually played in his first rendition of his song. When Mundy does it, he always mentions who wrote it. So I think well done Steve and thanks for your generosity in sharing it with Sharon, Mundy and all the other worthy singers and musicians.

The family we stayed with made everyone take a turn singing an Irish song, and it was so much fun and laughter. The most beautiful, amazing, lovable place ever!!

I have heard dozens of versions of this wonderful song ,including great versions by the composer Stevie Earl,as well as this version by Mundy ,and all the best ones had one thing in common, the infectious spirited playing of Sharon Shannon on the Accordion,simply awesome ,what a great musician she surely is . She changes something very excellent into something "simply magical"

This is my definition of Ireland. As an American who has been fortunate to have visited twice, I will say this - the landscapes, villages and typical tourist spots are great. However, you must spend your evenings at a local. Wherever you are in Ireland, find your way to the local pub. The people are what makes this an amazing country. They are inviting and scenes like this are not rare. The music, people singing along and just having a good time. You will see people of all ages mingle and laugh and sing old tunes and new ones like this. If you only come to Ireland to see things like the Cliffs and other tourist spots, you're missing the best part of Ireland - the welcoming, fun and genuine resident population.

Take a summers night, get a hundred Newfoundlanders in the same area, break out the accordion, fiddles, and vocalists and a gauranteed good time is in store for all…. no different in Ireland. I believe this is the Irish culture that has over hundreds of years, incorporated and fused itself into the very fabric of Newfoundland life. Thanks to the fun loving, talented Irish settlers, we have connected, learned from and continue to blend with our Irish friends and their amazing music. Enjoy

@51wins 10 жыл бұрын

Would have to disagree there...I mean yes were all born on the same island but that doesn't mean we have to be the same country particularly when you have a large section who consider themselves British and the other Irish. Cyprus is a good example, one island two nations... But that doesn't mean everyone can't get along and when I have been south of the border I have very much enjoyed my nights out and found the people to be every bit as friendly. They way it should be.

This is bloody wonderful. Here in England we've lost most of our connections to traditional music. We're too serious about it. In Ireland, even tho this song was written recently by an American (the superb Steve Earle) the traditional feeling lives on pure & strong. And these brilliant musicians are enjoying themselves - something our dry academic folk-experts seem to have forgotten how to do. HEY!!
