THE GALWAY SHAWL - Steve Earle
This song is a traditional Irish folk song, concerning a rural courtship in the West of Ireland. The first known version was collected by Sam Henry from Bridget Kealey in Dungiven in 1936. Here the man falls in love with a girl who has no interest in modern trappings such as jewel or makeup, but instead wears a bonnet and is draped in a beautiful Galway Shawl.

Lyrics to "The Galway Shawl"

In Oranmore in the county Galway
One pleasant evening in the month of May
I spied a damsel she was young and handsome
Her beauty fairly stole my breath away

We kept on walking, she kept on talking
'Til her father's cottage came into view
She said " Come in sir and meet my father
And play for him The Foggy Dew"

She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
No paint, no powder, no none at all
But she wore a bonnet, with a ribbon on it
And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl

I played "The Blackbird" and "Stacks of Barley"
"Rodney's Glory" and "The Foggy Dew"
She sang each note like an Irish Linnet
When the tears they fell from her eyes so blue

She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
No paint, no powder, no none at all
But she wore a bonnet, with a ribbon on it
And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl

Was early early all in the morning
I hit the road for old Donegal
She said goodbye sir, she cried and kissed me
My heart remains with the Galway shawl

She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds
No paint, no powder, no none at all
But she wore a bonnet, with a ribbon on it
And 'round her shoulders was a Galway shawl
