She played the fiddle in an Irish Band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said Baby I just want to dance
I met her on
Grafton street right outisde of the bar
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
She asked me what does it mean
The Gaelic ink on your arm?
Said it was one of my friend's songs do you want to drink on?
She took Jamie as a chaser
Jack for the fun
She got Arthur on the table
with Johnny riding as a shotgun
Chatted some more
One more drink at the bar
Then put Van on the jukebox
Got up to dance you know
She played the fiddle in an Irish Band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said Baby I just want to dance
With my pretty little
Galway Girl
You're my pretty little Galway Girl
You know she beat me at darts
and then she beat me at pool
And then she kissed me like
there was nobody else in the room
As last orders were called
was when she stood on the stool
After dancing to Kaleigh
singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus
ever sang so sweet
A capella in the bar
using her feet for a beat
Oh, I could have that voice
playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out room
swear she was singing to me
You know she played the fiddle in an Irish Band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said Baby I just want to dance
My pretty little
Galway Girl
My my my my my my my Galway Girl
My my my my my my my Galway Girl
My my my my my my my Galway Girl
And now we've outstayed
our welcome and it's closing time
I was holding her hand
her hand was holding mine
Our coats both smell of smoke
whisky and wine
As we fill up our lungs
with the cold air of the night
I walked her home
then she took me inside
To finish some Doritos
and another bottle of wine
I swear I'm gonna put you
in a song that I write
About a Galway girl
and a perfect night
You know she played the fiddle in an Irish Band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said Baby I just want to dance
My pretty little
Galway Girl
My my my my my my my Galway Girl
My my my my my my my Galway Girl
My my my my my my my Galway
