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
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
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
