Ed Sheeran 
Galway Girl 
  
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 want to 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 want to drink on? 
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun 
She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding a shotgun 
Chatted 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 
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand 
Said: Baby, I just want to 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 
After dancing to céilidh singing to trad tunes 
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet 
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 was singing to me 
 
You know, 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 want to 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 outstayed our welcome and it's closing time 
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine 
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine 
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night 
I walked her home then 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 English man 
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand 
Said: Baby, I just want to 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
