[Chorus]
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English friend
Kissed her on the cheek and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just wanna dance"
[Verse 1]
I met her on Grafton Street right outside of the store
She sang a song and taught me while her brother played the guitar
She asked me, "What does it mean, the Gaelic thing on your arm?"
Said, "It was one of my friend's songs, do you want to sing on?"
She took me out to a party just for the fun
We were singing at the table with our friends all singing along
Chatted some more, one more song on guitar
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know?
[Chorus]
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English friend
Kissed her on the cheek and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just wanna dance"
With my pretty little Galway girl
You’re my pretty little Galway girl (Hey)
[Verse 2]
You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
And she looked at me like there was nobody else in the room
As song titles were called, was when she stood on the stool
After dancing the céilí, singing to trad tunes
I never heard "Carrickfergus" ever sung so sweet
A cappella in the back using her feet for a beat
Oh, I can have that voice playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out room, swear she was singing to me, you know?
[Chorus]
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English friend
Kissed her on the cheek 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 (Hey)
[Chorus]
You know she played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English friend
Kissed her on the cheek 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 (Hey)
[Outro]
Oh
