Galway Girl - Mundy with Sharon Shannon (H.Q.)

- I took a stroll down the old long walk on a day -I-ay-I-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk on a grand soft day -I-ay-I-ay
Well I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Because her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then - I'd be takin' a whirl
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
We were halfway there when the rain came down on the day -I-ay-I-ay
She asked me up to her flat downtown
on a grand soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do
Ah - because her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand - and I gave it a twirl
Then I lost my heart to a Galway girl
Oi!
Well when I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you friend, what would you do?
Well if her hair were black and her eyes were blue
And I've been all around, I've been all over this world
Boys - I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

this is the best version of Galway girl Ive heard , look at the stage full of great happy musicians, the audience is dancing ,smiling ....what a beautiful sight
Yep , Steve is a great songwriter
wrong!!!! Celtic Thunder is the best.try it!!😀
emma celtic thunder do to much lip sync so as for better no way this is best version by far
All those Celtic woman and Thunders and shit can go f themselves.
GrooveDoctor77 😭😭 im crying with joy bc this was my favorite song when i was little and still is .I remember listening to this when i was four in the very back of my mums car
Some people have difficulty chewing gum and walking. This gentleman is chewing gum, gigging a mandolin, singing, keeping time, and sounding fabulous.............all at the same time!

Horse of a man
Fun fact: singers often chew gum so their mouth doesn't dry out while performing.
That’s because he’s from Offaly! Made differently!
@@ellipsismusicuk 😁he's Offaly good
I fell in love with the real Galway Girl, Jacqueline, in 1957!
Can not understand why Ed Sheerin would call his song Galway Girl knowing that this amazing version of Galway Girl was already a huge hit.
Two different songs but clearly one winner.
Bravo Mundy and Sharon Shannon .👏👏
his tributes this, btw I'm galwegian
Yes!! Many years ago I went to Ireland to attend a wedding. I decided all roads lead to a pub, and my sister-in-law and I found many of them....exactly like this video. The family we stayed with made everyone take a turn singing an Irish song, and it was so much fun and laughter. The most beautiful, amazing, lovable place ever!!
Love this song!!! I just want to smile and laugh and dance.
No song makes me happier and no song makes me more nostalgic , remembering the beautiful life i had in Ireland..thank you Ireland, best country in the world... much love from Germany
Hey Maria, I agree totally re the song, thanks for the nice things you said re my country.It so happens that I've had the best times of my life in Deutschland...love comin' back to you from Ireland !
Glad you enjoyed it here! Hope you come again, even if it's just a small visit :3
oh lord i only just read this! :-) Where have you been in Germany?
well i keep coming back ever since!! :-)
thanks Maria
This is my definition of Ireland. As an American who has been fortunate to have visited twice, I will say this - the landscapes, villages and typical tourist spots are great. However, you must spend your evenings at a local. Wherever you are in Ireland, find your way to the local pub. The people are what makes this an amazing country. They are inviting and scenes like this are not rare. The music, people singing along and just having a good time. You will see people of all ages mingle and laugh and sing old tunes and new ones like this. If you only come to Ireland to see things like the Cliffs and other tourist spots, you're missing the best part of Ireland - the welcoming, fun and genuine resident population.
Glad you enjoyed your visit . We do love having tourist's
Yep. I spent my summers there as a kid. Probably a year in total. The local pubs playing darts or pool and eating Taytos.
This is spot on! The local pubs, singing along, laughing, drinking...so much fun!
Bob Sloper some one get this lad a chicken fillet roll
That's in tourist areas in the tourist season. In Ireland Ireland ( like everywhere) not the best of people frequent pubs.
Man, the energy and joy in this song is through the roof. LOVE IT !!!
Alison moyet
i love that grin on his face when he sings "i lost my heart to a galway girl"
Ashley Nguyen Hi Ashley xxx
This is one of the best versions of this beloved song. Written by Steve Earle, a Texan born in Virginia. And America's pride. We're all a little more Irish because of it, and my little Grandma McGinnis.
When I play my violin in church my piano accompanist is Melissa McGinnis, MD, a songsmith in her own right. Must run in the family.
It's a fine version. Steve Earle wrote this while staying with Sharon in Galway where she lives. She actually played in his first rendition of his song. When Mundy does it, he always mentions who wrote it. So I think well done Steve and thanks for your generosity in sharing it with Sharon, Mundy and all the other worthy singers and musicians.
I have heard dozens of versions of this wonderful song ,including great versions by the composer Stevie Earl,as well as this version by Mundy ,and all the best ones had one thing in common, the infectious spirited playing of Sharon Shannon on the Accordion,simply awesome ,what a great musician she surely is . She changes something very excellent into something "simply magical"
Sharon has one of the greatest smiles around.
Super music.
Love it! Love it ! Love it! Take a summers night, get a hundred Newfoundlanders in the same area, break out the accordion, fiddles, and vocalists and a gauranteed good time is in store for all…. no different in Ireland. I believe this is the Irish culture that has over hundreds of years, incorporated and fused itself into the very fabric of Newfoundland life. Thanks to the fun loving, talented Irish settlers, we have connected, learned from and continue to blend with our Irish friends and their amazing music. Enjoy
As an ex-Scottish Highlander this music makes me smile inside and out!!
Sharon Shannon makes this song come alive whoever she plays with. Galway Gal is not the same without her musical accompaniment !
I'm from Northern Ireland, county music seems to be the new craze for us young people again everyone seems to love it. Nice to get back to the traditional ways.
My friend north and south shouldn't exist we are all off the same little island and that makes us all the same no matter what our background is or what we believe in the end if your born of the island of ireland that's enough to say your Irish no matter what. :)
Would have to disagree there...I mean yes were all born on the same island but that doesn't mean we have to be the same country particularly when you have a large section who consider themselves British and the other Irish. Cyprus is a good example, one island two nations...
But that doesn't mean everyone can't get along and when I have been south of the border I have very much enjoyed my nights out and found the people to be every bit as friendly. They way it should be.
well said boy
Sean Connolly couldnt agree more..
Actually American Southern/Country Music came from Ireland originally and was tweeked with the mix of cultures.. It's just come back to haunt ya now..
My Mum was a Galway girl, such a wonderful Mum and this song can be happy and sad fr us as she passed away 2 years ago but we keep Irish music going and always play these songs to remember
Gera1713 my grandparents were from galway been over there five times now to find my roots .im a Lynch clan from Galway and proud of it 70 years old now sad to say dont think ill make it back to galway again .was born in england BUT ireland IS my home.i love that country so much and miss it.
my mum loves country songs her favourite is galway girl
I am listening to this song everytime I am down and it brings me joy...Ireland is just an amaizing country and I discovered the song in Galway...loved it from the begining...
I always fantasize about playing this song on the guitar and singing it with my deceased grandad to my gran who was dead before i was even born. She was from Ballygar in Galway. Great how music can make you think of somebody you never got to meet
MUSIC IS MAGIC - it can take you almost to heaven -- it can make a memory as fresh as NOW.
Nothing like happy music and happy people
Lovely song and music by Sharon Shannon x
Or Steve Earle
The songwriter was Steve Earle.
Well, perhaps one can tell by my symbol, but I lived in Louisiana and I can hear the Cajun/Creole in the music. Such a joy to be reminded of home. Thank you, Steve Earle, and Mundy for your rendition. Merci beaucoup!
I love hearing sharon l always say smiling sharon she lovely god bless her wonderful
Irish! and proud of it!
Other half ??
Full Irish and extremely proud of it. Unfortunately the people of the occupied six counties would disagree lol had to say it, just had ta!
Amazing song!
Grey Line
hhñb bn
bien
p
the joy in that hall just hits so hard i wish i was there
Now THIS is great music! Love the song, great craic also :-)!
Not as good as the original
Love it brilliant soooooo good 😜
Fabulous
@@ciaran6309 - this is wayyyy better than the original in my opinion. Only the Irish do Irish songs well and if Sharon is involved, thats even better. Munday and Sharon by far do the best version of this song. I think even Steve would concede that.
Just go to Galway
This song is absolutely awesome, I'm in love with this band, it is a song to lift you up and and dance.amazing.❤❤❤
Sharon's one of our National Treasures
Best Irish song written by an American.
not the best irish song.......
Hey Custard , you are right, written by an American but here (Ireland) we like to pretend that it was written by one of us ... best to you ...Slan go foil
great Irish music written by a guy from Texas.
tune sounds a bit like lord of the dance, or simple gifts on which it is based.
Thanks Steve earl great song 👍two entertainers at there best 🙌 ** my mum was from galway 🙋 forever in our heart's mum 💕 this is my favourite version of this song 🙌 keep safe all 😇
Joe Dolan
With Irish blood no doubt. 40 million plus yanks have Irish heritage. What a fucking rendition of it.
This can’t be called irish music
A great song written by a very under appreciated American singer songwriter, performed here extremely well.
Just love this, to see people having fun and AGAIN . Thank god for Ireland :-)
+JOHN GILLESPIE And so say all of us!!
Ill drink to that
Good man , Thanks and stay happy :-).

OMG i remember my mother made me listen to this song!

Much Love dear friends from France
What a great song and it doesn't hurt that my ancestors were from Galway!
Pure Cajun.. my Irish ancestors to Texas and Nashville and straight arrow back.. Love this song.. thank you Mr. Steve Earle.. Whoo hoo.. !!! Although I love this remake.. All are good..

GOD!!! Is he ever -- words fail me! Simply gorgeous -- that carefree delightfully wicked grin, excellent singing, excellent playing, incredible presence -- GOD!! I may never stop watching this video! Thanks ever so much for uploading it! Must go find out more about him and his music!
I miss playing music like this. I will forevEr be a Galway girl 😍🔥💕💞
Sharon is radiant. Mundy could have lost his heart to a Galway Girl. And everyone is having too much of fun for the song to end so soon.
I played this for my friends in The Netherlands and they enjoyed it very much although they could not understand the tear I had in my eye, I miss home even after 30+ years Thank you for posting Tomtscotland.
This is bloody wonderful. Here in England we've lost most of our connections to traditional music. We're too serious about it. In Ireland, even tho this song was written recently by an American (the superb Steve Earle) the traditional feeling lives on pure & strong. And these brilliant musicians are enjoying themselves - something our dry academic folk-experts seem to have forgotten how to do. HEY!!
The best version ever!,
There is no other song which makes me as happy as this song! Love it!
Absolutely Brilliant
Amazing how close it sounds to Cajun music.
Love this song, great for dancing. Awesome Irish music.Can't get any better then this for sure.Fantastic band. Thank you tomtscotland for posting..
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC. I LOVE THIS SONG, I LOVE GALWAY AND I LOVE SHARON SHANNON. YEEHA.
Love this, Men and Women having a great time to some fabulous music,
Best song ever love Mindy and Shannon
Amazing!!! tThis song makes my heart smile!!! I love it!!
I remember seeing Mundy live and dancing to this song....sooooo wonderful! :) One of the funnest gigs Ive ever been to
So very proud to be Irish on the other side of world.
+Sootys Disco she was blonde with green eyes and a true IRISH beauty ..he was dark with blue eyes both true Irish beauties ...so proud of them both.
+Sootys Disco 2 GRANDSONS BOTH DIFFERENT COLORING BUT BOTH THE SAME IRISH GENES...
+Sootys Disco WE WILL FOREVER BE THE VOICE AND VISION OF OUR COUNTRY ...
Happy St Patricks Day from CANADA ...
we share the login ...so both lol
🎶This was a great version of Gallaway girl. 👍🏼😃
Brilliant..say no more..love Irish folk, and that's coming from an English man
Best version,ever,of 'Galway Girl'.
Love this song. It always make me smile and reminds me of my own Mary, my once upon a time Irish lass, with her radiant dark hair and sparking eyes of blue.
And powerful left hook.
everyone having a great time. Lovely to see. x
And NO cellphones in the air!
LOVE this song !! Perfect !
I am a Jew from Poland and lived in Ireland several years ago. Now, years later, the bitter moment of truth has come. Irish people, forgive me, but I have to tell you this. I love you, you are wonderful.
I'm not irish but I love irish music you cant beat it
first time i have heard this, excellent, thank you.
don't know I'm from Glasgow but I'm a true scot
Geeat tune by Mr Earle and a great live performance! Sharon's accordion is a great addition with a little Cajun influence.
Les Hoffman Not exactly an addition, since she played on his studio version, but it is more prominent here.
I love how happy he looks when he’s singing! Best song!!
The definition of fun!
I love this song.
Love from your Australian brothers across the globe from you!!!
Great tune....Sharon Shannon is just wonderful.....
an amazing musician. Great talent Sharon. Keep up the lovely music .and keeping everyone happy.
What a joyous song. For someone to give it a thumbs down they must be mad at the world.
The good thing about being stuck in Ireland recovering from a car accident in which you suffered four broken ribs and a punctured lung...getting to hear this song plenty! :)
yeahokyep Jesus
Ah, well I was there 4 times as long as originally planned and didn't even see half of what I would have but it was alright lol I started in Dublin and made it to Kilkenny which is near where the accident happened. Good times :)
Ireland is a great place to get well again! Slainte!
Yeah it sure was. My trip was originally going to be for 13 days but I ended up being there for 60. I spent 47 days recovering in Kilkenny and had a wonderful time!
love this song
Love this xxxxx
Wow! Loved this - great song. Talented singer and musician! ❤️
I'm so proud everyday of my life to say I'm IRISH...so sorry we had to leave in the 80's:(
Sharon Shannon warms my heart
Best song ever, Especially hearing it in the pubs of Galway!
GREAT stuff there Sharon and band , smashing number , Wish I could meet a galway girl .
gorgeous,thankyou from athens in greece
He looks so happy with the gum in his mouth. This song makes me happy! Great song
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME......SHE SURE CAN PLAY THAT SQEEZEBOX.....BLOWS ME AWAY....
Great musicians doing what they do so well before an appreciative and engaged audience - love it!!
just back from Ireland heard this in a pub in Arklow fantstic
Brilliant!
The legend that is Gerry O'Connor on banjo too! What a line up.
Awesome, really really good!! Thanks for posting
These comments kinda piss me off because I've been a musician for 26 yrs. and I can tell you that if this version sucked, these people would not be responding to it in this fashion! This is a great version and if you knew anything about music, you would know that in this type of venue, the energy of the crowd sets the tempo! Shout out to my Irish brothers and sisters.
Love this song glad I am from galway
Lol love this song. One word for Sharon Shannon............'legend'
good version
Greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat
love it looks like a great party
Love, love, love it! And Steve Earle!
the best galway girl by mundy and sharron, the compliment of music instruments brill, play it time and time again.
