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 wanna dance"
I met her on Grafton street
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
one more drink at the bar
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance
You know, she played her fiddle
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 Gal way girl
You're my pretty little Gal way 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 Kaleigh, singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus
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
You know, she played her fiddle
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"
My pretty little Gal way girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my,
My, my, my, my, my, my, my,
My, my, my, my, my, my, my,
our welcome and it's closing time
her hand was holding mine
Our coats both smell of smoke,
with the cold air of the night, I
and another bottle of wine
I swear I'm gonna put you in a song that
About a Galway girl and a perfect night
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"
My pretty little Gal way girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my,
My, my, my, my, my, my, my,
My, my, my, my, my, my, my,
