From Galway to Graceland

[Verse 1]
Oh, she dressed in the dark
And she whispered amen
She was pretty in pink
Like a young girl again
Twenty years married
And she never thought twice
She picked up her bags
And walked into the night
And silver wings carried her
Over the sea
From the west coast of Ireland
To west Tennessee
Just to be with her sweetheart
Oh, she left everything
From Galway to Graceland
To be with the King

[Verse 2]
And she sang "Love Me Tender"
That's the song she loved best
She had "Elvis I Love You"
Tattooed on her breast
When they landed in Memphis
Well, her heart beat so fast
She'd dreamed for so long
Now she'd see him at last
She knelt at his graveside
Day after day
Come closing time
They would lead her away
Just to be with her sweetheart
Oh, she left everything
From Galway to Graceland
To be with the King

[Verse 3]
In the thousands they came
From the whole human race
To pay their respects
At his last resting place
But blindly she knelt there
And she told him her dreams
And she thought that he answered
Well, that's how it seemed
Then they dragged her away
It was handcuffs this time
She said, "My dear man
Are you out of your mind?
Don't you know that we're married?
See, I'm wearing his ring
I come from Galway to Graceland
To be with the King
I come from Galway to Graceland
To be with the King"
