Paddy Mór - The Craic Was Had in Galway Lyrics




I landed in Dublin airport
At 5AM
Went home again to Galway
With Boston friends
We roved the City of Tribes
We loved that town
Listen in I'll tell the story
Of what went down

Hey diddle di diddle do diddle day
The craic was had in Galway
Hey diddle di diddle do diddle dee
Galway Ireland is the place to be

Friday night we met with Dion
Outside of the shop
In Galway City's Westside
A daycent spot
Gathered outside Dunnes Stores
Just gone 7PM
Tim and Tom bought the Buckfast
And I bought the cans

Hey diddle di diddle do diddle day
The craic was had in Galway
Hey diddle di diddle do diddle dee
Galway Ireland is the place to be

Just before we met with Dion
Went into Eyre Square
Thursday night down in Taaffes Bar
Whole town on the tear
Burke and Taugher skullin' pints
Flat Out were on stage
Singin' Irish rebel songs
Better than any rave

Hey diddle di diddle do diddle day
The craic was had in Galway
Hey diddle di diddle do diddle dee
Galway Ireland is the place to be

After we had met with Dion
Got a cab to me house
Brought the monk juice back to my place
Broke the Buckfast out
We stayed up all night
Til 7 AM
Went to Regan's after mass
The cycle started again

Hey diddle di diddle do diddle day
The craic was had in Galway
Hey diddle di diddle do diddle dee
Galway Ireland is the place to be

After a few short days passed
The Boston boys had to leave
That only left Tom Reilly
But he went off to Meath
The house was empty I threw a party
In the Moycullen glen
Waking neighbours blaring music
Then they all joined in

Hey diddle di diddle do diddle day
The craic was had in Galway
Hey diddle di diddle do diddle dee
Galway Ireland is the place to be

The next Friday came around
So off I went
Caught another AerLingus flight
To Boston-Logan
I was sad to leave behind me
My friends and the craic
But it's only 5 hours on a plane
And I can always go back

Hey diddle di diddle do diddle day
The craic was had in Galway
Hey diddle di diddle do diddle dee
Galway Ireland is the place to be!
