Summary
In this Irish song, a man encounters a beautiful girl wearing a Galway shawl. They walk together until they reach her home, at which point she invites him in to meet her parents. There he plays 'The Foggy Dew' for them, and the girl sings sweetly to his music. The next morning, he departs for Donegal, but will always remember her.
