She played the

English man
Kissed her on
the neck and t

by the hand
Said baby I ju
st want to dan

[Verse]
I met her on G
#
rafton street
right outside
of the bar

igarette with
me while her b
rother played
the guitar
She asked me w

F#m N.C.
Said it was one of my friend’s songs do you want to drink on?
She took Jamie
as a chaser,
Jack for the f

She got Arthur
on the table,
with Johnny r
iding as a sho
tgun
Chatted some m

Then put Van o

[Chorus]
She played the
fiddle in an
Irish band
But she fell i

Kissed her on

by the hand
Said baby I ju

With my pretty
little Galway
Girl
You’re my pret

[Verse]
You know she b

E N.C.
After dancing to Céilí singing to trad tunes
I never heard
Carrickfergus

A capella in t

Oh, I could ha
ve that voice
playing on rep
eat for a week
And in this pa
cked out room
swear she was
singing to me
[Chorus]
She played the
fiddle in an
Irish band
But she fell i
n love with an
English man
Kissed her on
the neck and t
hen I took her
by the hand
Said baby I ju
st want to dan

With my pretty
little Galway
Girl

[Verse]
Now we’ve outs
tayed our welc
ome and it’s c
losing time
I was holding
her hand, her
hand was holdi
ng mine
Our coats both
smell of smok
e, whisky and
wine
As we fill up
our lungs with
the cold air
of the night
I walked her h
ome then she t
ook me inside
Finish some Do
ritos and anot
her bottle of
wine
I swear I’m go
ing to put you
in a song tha
t I write
About a Galway
Girl and a pe
rfect night
[Chorus]
She played the
fiddle in an
Irish band
But she fell i
n love with an
English man
Kissed her on
the neck and t
hen I took her
by the hand
Said baby I ju
st want to dan

With my pretty
little Galway
Girl
My, my, my, my
, my, my, my G

My, my, my, my

My, my, my, my
