Hank Locklin – Galway Bay lyrics

Album: Please Help Me I'm Fal

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland then maybe at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch the moon rise over forrest
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay
Just to hear again the ripplin' of the trout stream
The women in the meadows making hay
And to sit beside a turn fire in the cabin
And watch the barefoot cousins at their play
[ ac.guitar ]
For the strangers came and tried to teach us fairway
They scorn us just for being what we are
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeans or lie a penny candle from a star
And if there's is goin' to be a life hereafter
And somehow I am sure there's goin' to be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven in that here land across the Iry sea
