Lyrics of 'Éire Girl' by Charlie and The Bhoys

Way on the other side of the Liffy, deep in the bustle of Ireland
I met a young girl; she looked mighty fine, long red hair and green Irish eyes

Standing on a corner near the famous GPO
She asked is there some place we could go
She was collecting her thoughts as I stood by
She was looking for change and so was I

(chorus) Eire Girl

She was an Irish girl, I fell in love with her she wrote her number on the back of my hand
I called her up I was all out of breath I said, come hear me play in my wee Celtic band
I took a shower and I put on my best blue jeans, I picked her up in my new VW van
She wore a Celtic top with nothing underneath, I said Hi she yes I guess I am

chorus

We had a little time, my mouth was mega dry, and we had a few drinks in a pub on the main street
I had a few Pints, she had a few wines, we got a little closer and she told me she liked me

I had a gig in the old Hibernian hall,
It was a dance for a charity I recall
She was singing along to all the songs
She just smiled and I knew I can't go wrong

chorus

Saw her the next day but I had to go away told her I'd see her if I ever came back here
I'm heading out of town going up to County Down, playing in Downpatrick for the boys in the GA

Dropped in to Belfast on the way to the boat
Had to stop for a pint for the sake of my throat
I got talking to another Irish girl
She was her best friend and she said oh what the hell
