Galway Bay lyrics

Artist  : Bing Crosby 
Song : Galway Bay



 Send "Galway Bay" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
Then
maybe at the closing of your day;
You will sit
and watch the moonrise over Claddagh,
And see
the sun go down on Galway Bay,
Just to hear
again the ripple of the trout stream,
The
women in the meadows making hay;
And to sit
beside a turf fire in the cabin,
And watch the
barefoot gossoons at their play,
For the
breezes blowing o'er the seas from
Ireland,
Are perfum'd by the heather as they
blow;
And the women in the uplands diggin'
praties,
Speak a language that the strangers
do not know,
For the strangers came and tried
to teach their way,]
They scorn'd us just for
being what we are;
But they might as well go
chasing after moonbeams,
Or light a penny
candle from a star.
And if there is going to
be a life hereafter,
And somehow I am sure
there's going to be;
I will ask my God to let
me make my heaven,
In that dear land across
the Irish sea.
