Galway Girl

She played the fiddle in an Irish band

But she fell in love with an English friend

Kissed her on the cheek and then I took her by the hand

Said, baby, I just wanna dance

I met her on Grafton Street right outside of the store

She sang a song and told me her brother played the guitar

She asked me, what does it mean, the Gaelic thing on your arm?

Said it was one of my friend's songs, do you wanna sing on?

She took me out to a party just for the fun

We were singing at the table with our friends all singing along

Chatted some more, one more song on guitar

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 friend

Kissed her on the cheek and then I took her by the hand

Said, baby, I just wanna dance

With my pretty little Galway girl

You're my pretty little Galway girl

Hey

You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool

And she looked at me like there was nobody else in the room

As song titles were called was when she stood on the stool

After dancin' the ceili, singin' to trad tunes

I never heard Carrickfergus ever sound so sweet

A cappella in the back, using our feet for a beat

Oh, I could have that voice playin' on repeat for a week

And in this packed out room, swear she was singin' to me

You know she played the fiddle in an Irish band

But she fell in love with an English friend

Kissed her on the cheek and then I took her by the hand

Said, baby, I just wanna dance

With 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, hey

You know she played the fiddle in an Irish band

But she fell in love with an English friend

Kissed her on the cheek and then I took her by the hand

Said, baby, I just wanna dance

With 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, hey
