Galway Bay Lyrics - Unbekannt

If you ever go across the seas 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 

To hear again the ripple of the trout stream 

The women in the meadows making hay 

To sit beside the turf fire in the cabin 

And watch the barefoot goosoons at their play 

Oh. the breezes blowing o'er the sea from Ireland 

Are perfumed by the heather as they blow 

And the women in the upland digging praties 

Speak a language that the strangers do not know 

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
