Galveston, oh, Galveston I still hear your sea winds blowin' I still see her dark eyes growin' 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 play? Galveston, oh, Galveston I am so afraid of dying Before I dry the tears she's crying Before I watch your seabirds flying in the sun At Galveston, at Galveston Galveston, Galveston
