Foster & Allen - GALWAY BAY lyrics

Foster and Allen Miscellaneous GALWAY BAY GALWAY BAY It's said someday I'll go back to Ireland If only at the closing of my day Just to see again the moon rise over Claddagh And watch the sun go down on Galway Bay Just to see again the ripple of the trout stream The women in the meadows making hay Or to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin And watch the barefoot children at their play The winds that blow across the vales from Ireland Are perfumed by the heather as they blow And the women in the uplands diggin' praties Speak a language that the strangers do not know The strangers came and tried to teach us their way They scorned us just for being what we are But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams Or light a penny candle from a star And if there's going to be a life hereafter And somehow I feel sure there's going to be Then I'll ask my God to let me make my heaven In that dear land across the Irish sea
