Galway Bay Full Lyrics

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 watch the sun go down on Galway Bay Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream The women in the meadows making hay And, to sit beside the turf fire in the cabin And watch the barefoot goosoons at their play For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way 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 am sure there's going to be I will ask my God to let me make my heaven In that dear land across the Irish Sea
