Galveston, oh, Galveston I still hear your seawinds blowing I still see her dark eyes glowing She was twenty one, when I left Galveston Galveston, oh, Galveston I still hear your seawaves crashin While I watch the cannons flashin' 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 run 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
