She played a fiddle in an ir~ish band
But she fell in love
With an En~glish 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 friends songs
Do'y want to drink on
She took
Jamie is 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 a fiddle
In an ir~ish band
But she fell in love
With an En~glish 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 Kayleigh
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 a fiddle
In an ir~ish band
But she fell in love
With an En~glish 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 ir~ish band
But she fell in love
With an En~glish 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
