GALVESTON

Galveston oh Galveston
I still hear your seawinds blowing
I still see her dark eyes glowing
she was twentyone when I left Galveston

Galveston oh Galveston
I still hear your seaweeds clashing
while I watched the canoes splashing
I aim my gun and dream of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
standing there looking like to seek
for me waiting there for me on the beach 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 seabirds flying in the sun
at Galveston
