Galveston Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
