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
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
I met her on Grafton street
She shared a ci garette 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,
She took Jamie as a chaser,
She got Arthur on the table
with Johnny riding a shotgun
one more drink at the bar
Then put Van on the jukebox,
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
With 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
As last orders were called was when
Cèilidh singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus
A capella in the bar using
Oh, I could have that voice
playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out room
swear she was singing to me
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
My pretty little Galway Girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
And now we've outstayed our
welcome and it's closing time
her hand was holding mine
Our coats both smell of smoke,
As we fill up our lungs with
the cold air of the night
I walked her home then she
To finish some Doritos and
I swear I'm gonna put you
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
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
