[Verse 1]
Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowing
I still see her dark eyes glowing
She was 21 when I left Galveston

[Verse 2]
Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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
