Galway Girl Songtext
von MALINDA

She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
But I kissed her on the neck, and then I took her by the hand
I said, "Baby, I just wanna 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 wanna drink on?"
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding the shotgun
Shouted 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
But I kissed her on the neck, and then I took her by the hand
And said, "Baby, I just wanna dance
With my pretty little Galway girl, mm
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 that′s when she stood on the stool
After dancin' the céili, singin' to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
A capella in a bar, usin′ her feet for a beat
Oh, I could have that voice playin′ on repeat for a week
And in those packed out rooms, swear she was singin' to me

You know she played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
But I 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 Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl

Now we′ve outstayed our welcome, and it's closin′ time
I was holdin' her hand, her hand was holdin′ 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, she took me inside
We finished 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 English man
But I kissed her on the neck, and then I took her by the hand
Baby, I just wanna dance
With my pretty little Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl
My, my, my, my
Galway girl
My, my, my, my
Galway girl, ooh-ooh
