Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea wind 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 dreamed of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there staring 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 wipe the tears she's crying
Before I watch the sea birds flying in the sun

Galveston
Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there staring 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 wipe the tears she's crying
She was 21 when I left Galveston
