| 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 the céili singing to trad tunes
|
| I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
|
| A cappella 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 |
