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 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
