Galveston oh galveston

I still hear your sea winds blowing

I still see her dark eyes glowing

She was twenty-one

When I left galveston

Galveston oh galveston

I still hear your sea waves crashing

While I watch the cannon flashing

And I clean my gun

And I 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 oh galveston

Galveston galveston
