Johnny Cash Album: Personal File - Disc 1 (Legacy Recordings) Track: Galway Bay
Galway Bay Lyrics
If you ever go across the sea to Ireland Then maybe at the closin' of your day You could sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh Or watch the sun go down on Galway Bay
For the breezes blowing o'er the sea to Ireland Are perfumed by the heather as they blow And the women in the uplands diggin' praties Speak a 1anguage that the strangers do not know
For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way And 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 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 dear land across the Irish sea
