Galway Girl

That beautiful face and crown of red hair, Those big strong hands always there, That zest for life and all things fun, What a wonderful wife, granny and mum. You loved to drive and dance and sing, Look on the bright side that was your thing, A proud Irish woman who loved Galway and Clare, Your love and devotion in people is rare. Life threw you sadness loss and grief, But you only stopped for a while to weep, Then carry on with a heavy heart and light step, No mountain too high or hill too steep. With freckles and red hair on a small little girl, You certainly knew how to handle a hurl, A lovely voice and singer of songs, You were without doubt our special Galway Girl.
