Lyr Req: girl from Galway

From: GUEST,Rudi

We were in a Killarney Pub about 3 weeks ago. The bandleader (guitar) sung a quite strange but funny song. Being Austrian I didn't understand the words quite good. All I kept was: ... she didn't speak English or Gaelish ... 16 pints of beer (refrain) ... girl of/from? Galway

who knows about Rudi

HI Rudi.
Maybe it's the song "The Galway Girl" by Steve Earle ?
Greetings John

Rudi: I think what you heard was the parody version of GALWAY BAY, which you can find here (click). The original is here (click).

Thanks Jim, in fact, the parody of the song GALWAY BAY was ment. The version I heard was a bit different again. However, if you would know the cords it would be helpful.
