She wore no diamonds or costly jewels
No paint no powder, no none at all
She wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it
And around her shoulders was the Galway shawl.

As we kept on walking, she kept on talking
Till her father�s cottage came into view
Said she "Come in sir and meet my father
And for to please him play "The Foggy Dew"

I played "The Blackbird" and "The Stack of Barley"
"Rodney�s Glory" and "The Foggy Dew"
She sang each note like an Irish linnet
And the tears flowed in her eyes of blue

�Twas early, early, all in the morning
I hit the road for old Donegal
Said she "Goodbye sir" as she cried
And my heart remained with the Galway shawl.
