Galveston oh Galveston I still hear your sea winds blowing

I still see her dark eyes glowing

She was 21 when I left Galveston

Galveston oh Galveston I still hear your sea waves crashing

While I watch the cannons flashing

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
