Galway Girl (Live)

She played a 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 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 a shotgun

Chatted the two of us, one more drink at the bar

Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance

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 wanna dance"

With my pretty little Galway Girl

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

Last orders were called was when she stood on the stool

After dancing the céili singing to trad tunes

I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet

A cappella 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

She played a 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 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

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

You're gonna sing the chorus right now, here we go

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

1, 2, 3

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
