Cherish The Ladies The Galway Rover Lyrics

GALWAY ROVER

I've the face of a stranger, with a smile of a rover
I'll take a glass at down Kinvarra, and a jug at
Oughterard
Down the great donkey road to the hills of Connemara
To my dark spanish handsome love way down in Galway
town

Chorus:
Where Jimmy he's my love, he's my pride he's my darling
Jimmy leaves me wonder to the ends of the world
Jimmy brings me love, gives me hope and sets me
dreaming
When the leaves are turning, in his arms I'll settle
down
In Galway town

The spring brings the swallow, a fresh land of the rover
Where the blushing summer roses shed their petals to
the glen
And the long breathless evenings, where the loneliness
is heaven
Makes the dreaming come so easy on the road to Galway
town

Chorus:
Where Jimmy etc.

The curlew are calling, a shy form is prancing
The ferns on them bulbing by the thousand gentle eyes
All the creatures of Eireann, sing their own sweet
songs of pleasure
As the rover goes a-whistling down the road to Galway
town

Chorus 2x
Where Jimmy etc.
