Bilingual
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an Englishman
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 by the side 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 wanna drink on?"
She took Jamie as a chase, Jack for the fun
She got Arthur on the table who drowned it right in a shot gun
She asked tomorrow, "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 Englishman
Kissed her on the neck 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
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
Off to dance with the ceilidh singing to trad tunes
I've never heard Kylie Ferguson ever sound so sweet
A cappella in the bar, you're singing "Fit for a Bit"
Or I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
And in this back-door room is where she was singing to me
You know she played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an Englishman
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just wanna 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
And now we've lost it all, come in, it's closing time
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
Our coats both smell of smoke, whiskey and wine
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
I walked her home and she took me inside
To finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
I swear I'm gonna 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 Englishman
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just wanna 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
