Bing Crosby - Galway Bay Galway Bay If you ever go across the sea to Ireland, Then maybe at the closing of your day You will sit and watch the moon rise 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 a turf- fire in the cabin And I to watch the barefoot Gossoons at their play . For the breezes blowing o er the seas from 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 They scornd 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 life hereafter, And somehow I am sure theres going to be I will ask God to let me make my heaven In that dear land across the Irish sea
