It's far away I am today from scenes roamed as a boy,
And long ago the hour I know I first saw Illinois;
But time nor tide nor waters wide could wean my heart away,
For ever true it flies to you, my own dear Galway Bay.

O ! grey and bleak, by shores and creek, the rugged rocks abound,
But sweet and green the grass between, that grows on Irish ground,
So friendship fond, all wealth abound, and love that lives alway,
Bless every home beside your foam, my own dear Galway Bay.

Instrumental

Had I youth's blood and hopeful mood and a heart of fire once more,
For all the gold the world might hold I'll never leave your shore,
I'd be content with whate'er God sent with neighbours old and grey,
And I lay my bones, 'neath churchyard stones, beside you, Galway Bay.

Instrumental

The blessings of a poor old man be with you night and day,
The blessings of a lonely man whose heart will soon be clay;
It's all of Heaven I ask of God upon my dying day,
My soul to soar for ever more above you, Galway Bay.

My soul to soar for ever more above you, Galway Bay.
