DA Maybe someday, i'll go back again to Ireland D If my dear old wife would pass away Em She nearly has my heart broke with all her naggin A7D She's got a mouth as big as Galway Bay
[Verse 2]
DA See her drinkin 16 pints of Pabst Blue Ribbon D And then she can walk home without a sway Em If the sea were beer instead of salty water A7D She would live and die in Galway Bay
[Verse 3]
DA See her drinkin 16 pints of Padgo Murphy's D When the barman says "I think its time to go" Em She doesn't try to speak to him in Gaelic A7D But a language that the clergy do not know
[Verse 4]
DA On her back she has tattooed a map of Ireland D And when she takes her bath on Saturday Em She rubs the sunlight soap around by Claddaugh A7D Just to watch the suds roll down by Galway Bay
