What is the guitar 🎸 instrument he uses at very beginning?

This is the male equivalent of “I will Always love you” - 100% better when it’s from the author

I play guitar myself and as a fan of country and Irish folk music, this song is in my favorites too.

What awesome song. I love listening to the instrument the guy is shaking, it sounds so good.

He's an American, boys. Got something to say.

🤩

Lovely. Don't forget the Galway girls xxx

Is that John mcsherry on whistle?

Superb

Magic ❤

Doesn't get much better than this.

Sharon Shannon ❤❤❤. Great song. My band plays this!

There's poetry in the idea that a man from America's Wild West writes a song about our Wild West. I like that.

Sorry Steve, worst version I have heard

Excellent ❤❤❤

Magnifique la "petite flute"....!!!!👍👋

I'm Mexican but according to my mom she has Irish roots and i believe so ,I love Irish music and of course, this beautiful song

Maybe it’s just a great song ?

It will be very unpopular comment, but bear with me, it comes from someone who genuinely loves this song: Steve's effort is almost nothing. The whole composition is driven by whistle, fiddle and accordion. Steve is a fifth wheel here.

Great song! Love it for years! Go on singing. Thank you so much for this music!!!

a masterpiece of songwriting

The American writer Ambrose Bierce, in his Devil's Dictionary (a must read for EVERYONE !!! Really !!), states that for every great sauce a sin is forgiven. Maybe this also holds true for every great song.

A perfect Steve Earle composition. Memories from long ago. In her case, Kerry ♥ Love her appreciative smile at 1:10

We just returned from 11 days in Southern Ireland and it’s become literally like a Top Ten pub standard. Bravo Steve!

Steve Earl has mixed the Irish type reel with his southern Cajan twist and they merged together so smoothly . I love his style. Steve's voice is so raw and real. I can feel him. He is a great song writer. Love and peace

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk Of a day -i-ay-i-ay I met a little girl and we stopped to talk Of a fine soft day -i-ay-i-ay And I ask you, friend, tell me what would you do 'Cause 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 Of a day -i-ay-i-ay And she asked me up to her flat downtown Of a fine soft day -i-ay-i-ay And I ask you, friend, tell me what would you do 'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl And I lost my heart to a Galway girl Now, when I woke up I was all alone I had a broken heart and a ticket home And I ask you now, tell me what would you do If her hair was black and her eyes were blue I've traveled around I've been all over this world Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

🎵🎶...broken heart and a ticket home...🎵🎶🎵

The Second Irish National Anthem ❤❤❤ Steve, I’ve been listening to you since the late 80s. Only getting better.

This is why they call him mystro? A musical genius

Makes me cry.could be the stroke.its that part of the brain

I’m not a country fan but I love Steve Earle I love Irish music thank you Steve because this a classic

Greasted by the writer.

mundy & sharon shannon - galway girl - sound better than Steve Earle singing.

Boy does he sing through his nose. I like this song, but when it sung by someone else, like the High Kings. Probably sound better if he didn't sing it a gay sounding voice.

I recognize John McSherry on whistle. I’m American but been to Ireland, the Irish love this song.

I ❤this song

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Best ever happy song!

Absolutely love Steve

Sharon and Mary Shannon Donal Lunny and Coolfin with Steve Earl. what a dream!

Good tune. Celtic Women Albums good therapy for this 50 year old growing boy.

Wonderful wonderful musician!!! Steve you are just the best!!!

My Texan Air Force Airman met my mom from Galway while stationed in England. She had just arrived with her sister. My mom was his Galway girl in 1957 and remained so until they both passed away.

I find that playing it at 1.25 speed gives it a more festive touch, great for pubs.

Stumbled across this song listening to Canada's first radio station CKUA based in Edmonton Alberta Canada. I love this song

Sharon Shannon is the Galway Girl.
