  1. She played the fiddle in an Irish band

  2. But she fell in love with an English man

  3. Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

  4. Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

  5. I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar

  6. She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar

  7. She asked me what does it mean, the Gaelic ink on your arm?

  8. Said it was one of my friend's songs, do you want to drink on?

  9. She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun

  10. She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding a shotgun

  11. Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar

  12. Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance

  13. You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band

  14. But she fell in love with an English man

  15. Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

  16. Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

  17. With my pretty little Galway Girl

  18. You're my pretty little Galway Girl

  19. You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool

  20. And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room

  21. As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool

  22. After dancing to Cèilidh singing to trad tunes

  23. I never heard Carrickfergus ever sang so sweet

  24. A capella in the bar using her feet for a beat

  25. Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week

  26. And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me

  27. You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band

  28. But she fell in love with an English man

  29. Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

  30. Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

  31. My pretty little Galway Girl

  32. My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl

  33. My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl

  34. My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl

  35. And now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing time

  36. I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine

  37. Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine

  38. As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night

  39. I walked her home then she took me inside

  40. To finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine

  41. I swear I'm gonna put you in a song that I write

  42. About a Galway Girl and a perfect night

  43. She played the fiddle in an Irish band

  44. But she fell in love with an English man

  45. Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

  46. Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

  47. My pretty little Galway Girl

  48. My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl

  49. My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl

  50. My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl

Galway Girl

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 a shotgun

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 Cèilidh singing to trad tunes

I never heard Carrickfergus ever sang so sweet

A capella 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

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"

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

And 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

To finish 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

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
