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