Galveston

Galveston, oh Galveston

I still hear your sea winds blowing

I still see her dark eyes glowing

She was 21

When I left GalvestonGalveston, oh Galveston

I still hear your sea waves crashing

While I watch the cannons flashing

I clean my gun

And dream of GalvestonI 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 runGalveston, 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
