Of course everone has slightly different words to this song. I swear I can this girls name as Ginny, Jilly, Jeanie. And I've heard women sing it as Jimmy, Billy and Johnny. Spo I wrote it the way I first heard it from Patrick O'Flaherty

Don


The Galway Rover Pete St. John (I believe)

I'(G)ve the face of a stranger, with a smi(C)le for the ro(G)ver

I'(G)ll take a glass down in Kin(Em)varra, and a j(C)ug at

Ou(D)ghter(G)ard,

Do(G)wn the great donkey ro(Em)ads to the hi(C)lls of Conne(G)mara,

T(G)o my dark and Span(D)ish la(C)dy lo(G)ve in fa(D)ir Gal(C)way

To(G)wn.

Chorus:

Whe(G)re Ginny sh(D)e's my lo(G)ve, she's my jo(D)y and she's my

dar(G)ling

Gin(C)ny leaves me wan(G)der, to the en(Em)ds of the wor(D)ld,

Gin(G)ny bri(D)ngs me lo(G)ve, gives me ho(D)pe and sets me

drea(G)ming

And wh(C)en the leaves are tur(G)ning, in her a(Em)rms I'll settle

do(D)wn,

In Galway To(G)wn
