 "Galway Girl" Lyrics 

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 as 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 sung so sweet 

Acapella 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 

  

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 

Finish some Doritos  

And another bottle of wine 

I swear I'm going to 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
