(Jim Webb)

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was twenty-one 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 dream of Galveston.

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin' 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 dry the tears she's crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston...
