he Girl from Galway (Duett-Version)
Verse 1 (Male)
Well, upon my way to Galway
With the sea so close by my side
I met a girl who offered me
Some whiskey and beer tonight
She said, This is the Irish bride.
Verse 2 (Female)
I told him I am a dancer
And yes, I love to drink
My home are the pubs on the old street
Where all the fiddles sing
And whiskey is our king
Chorus (Both)
(Male) She said we all have to drink here
Cause all Irish men should be drunk
(Female) And girls grow like roses on Irish fields
(Both) This is the Irish style,
Well, this is the Irish style.
Verse 3 (Male)
On the next day I left for Shannon
She followed me close by the sea
And she said she wants me to come back with her
Cause in Galway waits whiskey and gin
There in Galway waits whiskey and gin
Verse 4 (Female)
I told him tales of soldiers
Of rebels so brave and proud
And I said he should come back home with me
And he could be lucky with me
Yes, he could be lucky with me
Chorus 2 (Both)
(Female) And I said he must be a dancer
Cause fiddles love dancers as well
(Both) We can dance like roses on Irish fields
And then all men are lucky, I said,
Yes, all men are lucky, I said
Verse 5 (Male)
So back on the road to Galway
She said she would love to stay here
And then she said she wants to marry me
And that shell always be mine
Yes, that shell always be mine
Verse 6 (Female)
But I said I am no drinker
And I am no dancer as well
And I want a man who grows like an Irish rose
And only this man could be mine
And only this man would be mine
Verse 7 (Male)
And her Irish eyes were still smiling
But shell never be mine
And shell never be mine
