"Burndenette Girl"

I met her on lisnafin right outside of the park
She shared a a can of boost with me while her brother played the guitar
She asked me what does it mean the scar on my eye ?

She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
She 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

With my pretty little Burndenette Girl
You're my pretty little Burndenette Girl

You know she beat me at gta and then she beat me at code
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
As last orders were called, was when she stood on the swing
After dancing to my speaker, singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
Acapella in the park using her feet for a beat
Oh I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out park, swear she was singing to me, you know

My pretty little Burndenette girl
My my my my my my my Burndenette girl
My my my my my my my Burndenette girl
My my my my my my my Burndenette girl

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

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
