Galway Girl (Galway Boy Version)

He played the fiddle in an Irish band
But he fell in love with an English man
Kissed him on the neck and then I took him by the hand
Said baby I just want to dance

I met him on Princess street right outside of the bar
He shared a cigarette with me while his brother played the guitar
He 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?

I took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
Got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding as shot gun
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know

He played the fiddle in an Irish band
But he fell in love with an Australian
Kissed him on the neck and then I took him by the hand
Said baby I just want to dance

With my pretty little Galway Boy
You're my pretty little Galway Boy

You know I beat me at darts and then I beat me at pool
And then I kissed him like there was nobody else in the room
As last orders were called, was when he stood on the stool
After dancing the céilí, singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
Acapella in the bar using his feet for a beat
Oh I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out room, swear he was singing to me

He played the fiddle in an Irish band
But he fell in love with an Australian
Kissed him on the neck and then I took him by the hand
Said baby I just want to dance

My pretty little Galway Boy
My my my my my my my Galway boy
My my my my my my my Galway boy
My my my my my my my Galway boy

Now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing time
I was holding his hand, his 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

He walked me home then he took me inside
Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
I swear I'm going to put you in a song that I write
About a Galway boy and a perfect night

He played the fiddle in an Irish band
But he fell in love with an Australian
Kissed him on the neck and then I took him by the hand
Said baby I just want to dance

My pretty little Galway Boy
My my my my my my my Galway boy
My my my my my my my Galway boy
My my my my my my my Galway boy
