She played a fiddle in an Irish band
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 up for Upton Street
Outside of the bar she said, a cigarette with me
While her brother played the guitar,
she asked me,
what does it mean
And he didn't know rhymes,
said it was one of my friends' songs
She'd wanna drink on,
she said,
give me as a chase
Jacked with a fong, she got
Other on the table with Johnny riding a shotgun
Started the tour,
found more drink at the bar then
But then on the jukebox got up to dance
Played a fiddle in an Irish band
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 peely little Galway girl
Galway girl
She'd be me a dancer,
she'd be me a pooler And then she'd smell
like there was nobody else in the room
Last orders were cool,
as we stood in the stool Up to dancing to Kayleigh,
singing the trad tunes
I never heard Carrie Clare,
never sung so sweet A cappella in a bar using her feet for a beat
I could have that voice playing on
repeat for a week In this black-tie room,
swear she was singing to me
She played a fiddle in an Irish band
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 peely little Galway girl
My,
my,
my,
my,
my,
my Galway girl My,
my,
my,
my,
my,
my Galway girl
And now we've outstayed a welcome in this closing time
I was holding the hand a hand was holding mine
A cold,
smoldering smell of smoke,
whiskey and wine
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
I walked her home, then she took me inside
Finished some Doritos and another bottle of wine
I swear I'm gonna put you in a song that I write
You're gonna sing the chorus right now,
here we go!
Played a fiddle in an Irish band
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
