GALVESTON



Galveston, oh Galveston

I still hear your sea winds blowing

I still see her dark eyes glowing

She was twenty-one

When I left Galveston



Galveston, oh Galveston

I still hear your sea waves crashing

While I watch the cannon flashing

And I clean my gun

And I 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 see your sea birds flying

In the sun, at Galveston
