My Own Dear Galway Bay
It's 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, Can wean my heart away For ever true it flies to you My own dear Galway Bay
Oh, grey and bleak, by shore and creek, The rugged rocks abound, But sweeter green the grass between Than grows on Irish ground. So friendship fond, all wealth beyond, And love that lives always, Bless every home around your foam, My dear old Galway Bay.
Instrumental
Had I youth's blood and hopeful mood Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And heart of fire once more, For all the gold the world may 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, Beside you, Galway Bay.
Instrumental
The blessing of a poor old man Be with you night and day, The blessings of a lonely man Whose heart will soon be clay. It's all the Heaven I'd ask of God Upon my dying day My soul to soar for evermore Above you, Galway Bay.
