  • GALWAY BAY
  • Bing Crosby
  • If you ever go across the sea 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,
  • Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream,
  • The women in the meadows making hay;
  • And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin,
  • And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play,
  • For the breezes blowing o'er the seas from Ireland,
  • Are perfum'd by the heather as they blow;
  • And the women in the uplands diggin' praties,
  • Speak a language that the strangers do not know,
  • For the strangers came and tried to teach their way,]
  • They scorn'd 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 is 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.
