Would like Words to song Galway Bay?

Answer 1

Galway Bay

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland

If only at the closing of your day

You can sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh

And see the sun go down on Galway Bay

Just to hear again the ripple on the trout stream

The women in the meadow making hay

Or to sit beside a turf fire in a cabin

And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play

For the breezes blowing o'er the sea from Ireland

Are perfumed by the heather as they blow

And the women in the uplands diggin' praties

Speak a language that the strangers do not know

(BREAK)

For the strangers came and tried to teach us their ways

They scorned 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's going to be a life hereafter

And somehow I know there's going to be

I will ask my God to let me make my heaven

In that dear land across the Irish Sea
