Lyrics:
Galveston, oh, Galveston
Why do I hear your seawinds blowing
Why do I see her dark eyes glowing
She was twenty one, When I left Galveston
Galveston, oh Galveston
Wonder if she could forget me?
I’d go home if they would let me
Put down this gun
I go to Galveston
I can almost see her 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 see the sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston
At Galveston
At Galveston
