Galway Girl, by Ed Sheeran
- Chorus:
- She played the fiddle in an Irish band
- But she fell in love __ an English man
- Kissed her on the neck and then I took her __ the hand
- Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
- I met her on Grafton street right outside __ the bar
- She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
- She asked me what does it mean the Gaelic ink __ 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 as shotgun
- Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
- Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know
- (Repeat chorus)
- 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 Cèilidh, 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
- 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
- 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 girl and a perfect night
