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

As 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 the sea

Is she waiting there for me on the beach

Where we used to run?

Galveston, oh, Galveston

I am so afraid of dying

Until I dry the tears she's crying

Till I watch your seagulls flying in the sun at Galveston, at Galveston

I still see her standing by the water

Standing there looking out the sea

Is she waiting there for me on the beach

Where we used to run?

Galveston, oh, Galveston

I am so afraid of dying

Until I dry the tears she's crying

Till I watch your seagulls flying in the sun at Galveston, at Galveston

I still see her standing by
