Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea-winds blowing
I still see the dark pass glowing
She was twenty-one
When I left Galveston
Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea-waves crashing
While I watch the camera 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
For I wipe the tear she's crying
For I watch the seagulls lying 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 roam
Galveston, oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dying
For I wipe the tear she's crying
She was twenty-one
When I left Galveston
