  • Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

  • 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

  • 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

  • After dancing to Kaleigh, singing to trad tunes

  • I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
