Galway Girl

She played the fiddle in an Irish band But she fell in love with an English man But I kissed her on the neck, and then I took her by the hand I said, "Baby, I just wanna 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 wanna drink on?" She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding the shotgun Shouted 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 But I kissed her on the neck, and then I took her by the hand And said, "Baby, I just wanna dance With my pretty little Galway girl, mm 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 that's when she stood on the stool After dancin' the céili, singin' to trad tunes I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet A capella in a bar, usin' her feet for a beat Oh, I could have that voice playin' on repeat for a week And in those packed out rooms, swear she was singin' to me You know she played the fiddle in an Irish band But she fell in love with an English man But I kissed her on the neck, and then I took her by the hand Said, "Baby, I just wanna dance" My pretty little Galway girl My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl 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 closin' time I was holdin' her hand, her hand was holdin' mine Our coats both smell of smoke, whiskey, and wine As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night I walked her home, she took me inside We finished 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 But I kissed her on the neck, and then I took her by the hand Baby, I just wanna dance With my pretty little Galway girl My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl My, my, my, my Galway girl My, my, my, my Galway girl, ooh-ooh
