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 cannons flashing

 I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
I still see her standing by the water

standing there looking out to the 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 sea birds flying

 in the sun at Galveston

at Galveston
