On a Ggrand soft Dday-I-Gay
[Chorus]
And I Cask you, Gfriends, what's a Cfella to dGo
'Cause her Emhair was Dblack and her Ceyes were Gblue
And I Cknew right Gthen I'd be Ctakin' a Gwhirl
Down the EmSalthill DProm with a CGalway Ggirl

On the day-I-ay-I-ay

I met a little girl and we stopped to talk

G D G

On a grand soft day-I-ay

[Chorus]

C G C G

And I ask you, friends, what's a fella to do

Em D C G

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

C G C G

And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl

Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

On a grand soft day-I-ay

[Chorus]

C G C G

And I ask you, friends, what's a fella to do
