    I cannot stress enough how I’ve never been particularly fond of covers until I heard you cover a song. In general, the first way I hear a song is the only way I like it from there, but, man, I want to hear you cover all my favourite songs.

    "Galway Girl" has a complex history with two major versions. Firstly, American singer-songwriter Steve Earle wrote and released his version in 2000, a semi-autobiographical folk-rock love story about a captivating woman he met in Galway, Ireland. Secondly, a highly popular cover was released by Ed Sheeran in 2017, featuring the Irish band Beoga and showcasing a more upbeat, pop-infused take with traditional Irish instrumentation. While Sheeran's version is more widely known, Earle's song maintains popularity too, with both versions sparking numerous other covers and interpretations.

    Lyrics!!
    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"
    I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
    She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
    She 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?
    She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
    She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding a shotgun
    Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
    Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance
    You know, 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"
    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 sang so sweet
    A capella 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, 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
    And 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
    To finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
    I swear I'm gonna 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

    I have been scratching high and low for a version of "Fairwell to Nova Scotia" to mention, but much of them are on the old and crusty side of recordings.
    If perchance you happen by this song yourself, I hope you and your team might enjoy its likeness to your taste in shanties.

    Great cover ! Just remembered my visit to Galway, lovely place but a wee bit tricky if you get there by sailboat (the tides are impressive, if you turn up at a less than ideal moment you can’t get into the harbor and you’ll have to fins a working boat with a friendly captain to go alongside)

    What an absolutely fantastic cover mate - though I admit I was hoping it was a cover of The Galway Girl by Steve Earle 😄
    Particularly enjoyed the instrumentation/arrangement. Beautifully played and sung, adding it to the playlists. Stay handsome, Brother Bear, and eat a good breakfast 🥞
