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 as shot gun
|
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 ceili
|
singing to trad tunes
|
I never heard Carrickfergus
|
ever sung 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
|
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
|
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
|
Finish some Doritos
|
and another bottle of wine
|
I swear I’m going to 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
|
