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 standin' by the water
Standin' there lookin' out to sea
And is she waiting there oh for me?

Galveston, oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dyin'
Before I dry the tears she's cryin'
Before I see, your sea birds flyin'
In the sun at Galveston

At Galveston
Oh, at Galveston
Oh, at Galveston
At Galveston
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Ooh, ooh
