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 want to dance" I met her on Grafton Street right outside of the store She sang a song and taught me while 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 want to 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 want to 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 dancing the Céilí, singing to trad tunes I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet A cappella in the back, using her feet for a beat Oh, I can 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 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 want to 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 want to 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!)
