[00:02.91] She played the fiddle in an Irish band

[00:04.77] But she fell in love with an English man

[00:07.16] Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

[00:09.55] Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

[00:11.42] I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar

[00:14.08] She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar

[00:16.47] She asked me what does it mean the Gaelic ink on your arm?

[00:18.86] Said it was one of my friend's songs do you want to drink on?

[00:21.26] She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun

[00:23.64] She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding as shotgun

[00:26.56] Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar

[00:28.69] Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know

[00:31.34] She played the fiddle in an Irish band

[00:33.47] But she fell in love with an English man

[00:35.87] Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

[00:37.98] Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

[00:40.11] With my pretty little Galway Girl

[00:43.83] You're my pretty little Galway Girl

[00:50.21] You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool

[00:52.33] And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room

[00:54.98] As last orders were called, was when she stood on the stool

[00:57.37] After dancing to Cèilidh, singing to trad tunes

[00:59.77] I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet

[01:02.16] Acapella in the bar using her feet for a beat

[01:04.81] Oh I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week

[01:07.20] And in this packed out room, swear she was singing to me, you know

[01:09.59] She played the fiddle in an Irish band

[01:11.72] But she fell in love with an English man

[01:14.11] Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

[01:16.50] Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

[01:18.62] My pretty little Galway girl

[01:22.88] My my my my my my my Galway girl

[01:26.86] My my my my my my my Galway girl

[01:29.25] My my my my my my my Galway girl

[01:38.30] Now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing time

[01:40.42] I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine

[01:43.34] Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine

[01:45.20] As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night

[01:48.12] I walked her home then she took me inside

[01:49.98] Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine

[01:52.64] I swear I'm going to put you in a song that I write

[01:55.03] About a Galway girl and a perfect night

[01:57.69] She played the fiddle in an Irish band

[01:59.81] But she fell in love with an English man

[02:02.21] Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

[02:04.59] Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

[02:06.73] My pretty little Galway girl

[02:10.44] My my my my my my my Galway girl

[02:12.03] My my my my my my my Galway girl

[02:19.48] My my my my my my my Galway girl
