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
