Lyrics:
Salthill or Mallow
I stood like John Wayne by the wall
Lined up like cattle, we waited to do battle and fall
You can't wine and dine her in an old Morris
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
Down the Salthill
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
Down the Salthill
the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay
She asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine
the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay
She asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine
the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay
She asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine
And I wish that
She was mine
You want to see the way
She looked at me
Y.V.O.N.N.E.
Strangers come and go
Through Salthill summers
Each year see's new
all those Irish songs
At Galway town the place to go was O'Connels in Salthill
It was there the four of us planned to drink our fill
When Joey K drank
friend, what's a fella to do ?
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
cnd I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
'Round the Salthill Prom with
times when shades or night are falling
Hand in hand we ‘d wander through Salthill
Now she's gone and left me for her homeland
But in dreams I picture Mary
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
never want to leave.
You might meet someone you love
In O’Connors famous pub.
Or a party in Salthill on New Year’s Eve.
Chorus:
I’d take Galway in
ask you friend
What's a fella to do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue?
And I knew right then
I'd be taking a whirl
'Round the Salthill
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
friend, what's a fella to do
Because her hair is black and her eyes are blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
'Round the Salthill Prom with
we'll sway
Take my hand
Don't be afraid
Take my hand.
We'll have holidays in Salthill.
La Passeggiata on the prom.
Buy a caravan that we can pull
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
Down the Salthill Prom with
and some chips
And the rain it came a falling
Took a taxi to Salthill
With bad things in my head
She was wearing lovely clothes
The bouncer came and broke my
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
are out in Salthill
Sometimes I wonder If they ever think of me at all
Do they come from far and near to Quay Street still?
Are the fishing boats still
her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
'Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
We were halfway
