Galveston

Galveston, oh Galveston

I still hear your sea winds blowing

I still see her dark eyes glowing

She was 21 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 can 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 watch your sea birds flying in the sun
