lirik lagu my own dear galway bay - frank harte
[verse 1]
’tis far away i am today from scenes i roamed a boy
and long ago the hour i know when i first saw illinois
but time nor tide nor waters wide can wean my heart away
forever true, it flies to you, my own dear galway bay
[verse 2]
my chosen bride is by my side, her brown hair silver grey
her daughter rose, as like her grows, as april dawns today
our eldest boy his mother’s joy, his father’s pride and stay
with gifts like these i’d live at ease were i near galway bay
[verse 3]
oh, grey and bleak, by shore and creek, the rugged cliffs abound
but sweeter green the grass between that grows on irish ground
with friendship fond, all wealth beyond, and love that lives always
bless each poor home beside your foam, my own dear galway bay
[verse 4]
a prouder man i’d walk the land in health and peace of mind
if i might toil or strive and moil, nor cast one thought behind
but what would be the world to me, with its rank and rich array
if memory i lost of thee, my own dear galway bay
[verse 5]
had i youth’s blood and hopeful mood and heart of fire once more
for all the gold the earth might hold i’d never leave your shore
i’d live content, whate’er god sent, with neighbours old and grey
and lay my bones ‘neath churchyard stones beside you galway bay
[verse 6]
the blessings of a poor old man be with you, night and day
the blessings of a poor old man whose heart will soon be clay
’tis all the heaven i ask of god upon my dying day
my soul to soar forever more above you galway bay
