Galveston

Galveston, oh, Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was twenty-one, when I left Galveston

Galveston, oh, Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
And while I watch the cannons flashing
I just clean my gun, then I dream of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin' 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 sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston
