Galway Bay Lyrics by Dolores Keane

1979

[Verse 1]
Its far away, I am today,
From scenes, I roamed a boy,
And long ago , The hour I know,
I First saw Illinois, But time nor tide,
Nor waters wide, Could wean my heart away,
Forever true, it flies to you,
My own dear Galway bay.
[Verse 2]
Oh grey and bleak by shores and creek,
The rugged rocks abound,
But sweet and green the grass between,
Has grows on Irish ground,
So friendships fond all wealth abound,
And a love that lives always,
Bless every home beside your foam,
My own dear Galway bay.
[Verse 3]
A die with blood and hopeful mood,
And a heart of fire once more,
For all the gold the world might hold,
I'd never leave your shore,
I'd be content with whatever God sent,
With neighbors old and grey,
And I'd lay my bones neath churchyard stones,
My own dear Galway bay.
[Verse 4]
The blessings of a poor old man be with you night and day,
The blessings of a lonely man, Whose heart will soon be clay,
Its all of heaven I'll ask of God,
Upon my dying day,
My soul to soar forever more above you,
Galway bay.
