[ti: Galway Bay]
[length: 03:03]
[00:14.71]If you ever go across the seas to Ireland
[00:21.85]Then maybe at the closing of your day
[00:28.45]You will sit and watch the moonrise over Claddagh
[00:35.33]And watch the sun go down on Galway Bay
[00:42.78]Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream
[00:50.04]The women in the meadows making hay
[00:57.19]And, to sit beside the turf fire in the cabin
[01:03.82]And watch the barefoot goosoons at their play
[01:11.53]
[01:41.34]For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way
[01:47.88]They scorned us just for being what we are
[01:55.55]But, they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
[02:03.13]Or light a penny candle from a star
[02:09.73]And if there’s going to be a life hereafter
[02:17.19]And, somehow I am sure there’s going to be
[02:24.45]I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
[02:32.55]In that dear land across the Irish Sea
