Galway Girl - Mike Tompkins.mp3

[00:00.30]She played the fiddle in an Irish band
[00:02.14]But she fell in love with an English man
[00:04.56]Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
[00:06.95]Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
[00:08.76]
[00:08.91]I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
[00:11.62]She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
[00:13.87]She asked me what does it mean, the Gaelic ink on your arm?
[00:16.34]Said it was one of my friend's songs, do you want to drink on?
[00:18.65]She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
[00:21.20]She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding a shotgun
[00:23.26]Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
[00:25.92]Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance
[00:28.17]
[00:28.33]You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band
[00:30.70]But she fell in love with an English man
[00:32.95]Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
[00:35.42]Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
[00:37.18]With my pretty little Galway Girl
[00:42.42]You're my pretty little Galway Girl
[00:45.38]
[00:47.67]You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
[00:49.84]And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
[00:52.40]As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool
[00:54.85]After dancing the céili singing to trad tunes
[00:57.11]I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
[00:59.52]Acapella in the bar using her feet for a beat
[01:02.94]Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
[01:05.65]And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me
[01:07.86]
[01:08.05]She played the fiddle in an Irish band
[01:10.41]But she fell in love with an English man
[01:12.88]Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
[01:15.09]Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
[01:17.00]My pretty little Galway Girl
[01:19.86]My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
[01:25.17]My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
[01:30.24]My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
[01:34.30]
[01:36.62]And now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing time
[01:39.12]I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
[01:41.48]Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
[01:43.95]As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
[01:46.21]I walked her home then she took me inside
[01:48.71]To finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
[01:51.13]I swear I'm gonna put you in a song that I write
[01:53.48]About a Galway Girl and a perfect night
[01:55.89]
[01:56.29]She played the fiddle in an Irish band
[01:58.35]But she fell in love with an English man
[02:00.71]Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
[02:03.21]Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
[02:04.87]My pretty little Galway Girl
[02:08.33]My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
[02:13.30]My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
[02:20.21]Galway Girl
[02:23.30]My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
