TOWN OF GALWAY. Irish, Waltz (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. From an early 20th century song (by Francis Fahey?) that begins:
I left my old sweetheart one morning in May,
And twas just as the liner was leaving he quay;
When I held her closely and i heard her say,
You'll remember me dear and the Town of Galway.
