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 outside 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 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 Cèilidh singing to trad tunes
-
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sang so sweet
-
Acapella 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
-
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
