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 crashin’
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and I 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 seabird flying in the sun
At Galveston…At Galveston
