Galway Bay	[print]
(Trad)

Maybe someday I'll go back again to Ireland If my dear old wife would only pass away! She nearly has my heart broke with her nagging She's got a mouth as big as Galway Bay See her drinking sixteen pints of Pabst Blue Ribbon And then she can walk home without a sway If the sea was beer instead of salty water She would live and die in Galway Bay See her drinking sixteen pints at Pat Joe Murphy's The barman says: "I think it's time you go" Well she doesn't try to speak to him in Gaelic But in a language that the clergy do not know On her back she has tattooed a map of Ireland And when she takes her bath on Saturday She rubs the Sunlight Soap around by Claddagh Just to watch the suds flow down by Galway Bay

As sung by Tommy Makem. Sent to us from Laura Black, Australia.
