Galway Girl
Emerald Isle woman
A Galway Girl is a woman from Galway, a city and county in western Ireland.
The phrase gained wide recognition through folk and pop songs romanticizing Irish women, particularly Steve Earle's 2000 song and Ed Sheeran's 2017 hit.
Outside musical contexts, it simply describes someone's origin: She's a Galway girl, born and raised.
