Galway Girl

[Chorus]

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"

[Verse 1]

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?

[Chorus]

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)

[Verse 2]

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?

[Chorus]

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)

[Chorus]

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)

[Outro]

Oh
