Galveston oh Galveston

I still hear your seawinds blowing

I still see her dark eyes glowing

she was 21 and I love Galveston



Galveston oh Galveston

I still hear your seawaves crashing

while I watch the cannon's flashing

I clean my gun and dream of Galveston



I still see her standing by the water

standing there looking out to sea

and is she waiting there for me

on the beach where we used to run



Galveston oh Galveston

I am so afraid of dying

before I dry the tears she's crying

before I watch your seabirds flying in the sun

at Galveston at Galveston
